Abstract

To demonstrate the feasibility and quantify the intensity of right ventricular (RV) myocardial opacification by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), we analyzed MCE produced by intravenous injection of 0.15 ml/kg of QW7437 in 8 closed-chest dogs. MCE could produce visual opacification of the RV wall similar in time course to that of the left ventricular wall, and the data supported the potential role of MCE in evaluating RV hypertrophy, contraction, and perfusion abnormalities.
