Can dobutamine echocardiography distinguish necrotic from ischemic myocardium, early after myocardial infarction?
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of dobutamine echocardiography (DE) in distinguishing necrotic from ischemic myocardium in infarct zones. We performed DE in 39 patients, 3 to 5 days after ...

Echo-mechanocardiographic assessment of cardiac dynamics
Calibrated apexcardiography has become widely accepted as a method for the non-invasive assessment of cardiac performance (1, 2) and as an indirect method for timing intracardiac mechanical events (3, 4, 5). I...
