    Quantitative analysis of wall motion abnormalities

    Two-dimensional echocardiography has emerged as being an ideal noninvasive technique for studying the mechanical consequences of acute and chronic ischemia: because of its high spatial resolution, its sampling...

    Echocardiography during transesophageal atrial pacing

    Echocardiographically detected wall motion abnormalities are a sensitive marker of coronary artery disease. However, even patients with severe coronary stenoses may have a normal ventricular wall motion at res...

    Stress echocardiography for identifying patients at risk after myocardial infarction

    Several factors contribute to the prognosis of patients surviving acute myocardial infarction [1–3]. Among these, the presence of additional myocardium at jeopardy is felt to be one of the most important. Cons...
