DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2021.01.1838
Abstract: Purpose Due to the often asymptomatic nature of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) serial surveillance is recommended for all cardiac transplant (OHT) recipients. Ideally, CAV surveillance should be non-invasive, not involve ionizing radiation, and discriminate diffuse… read more here.

Prognostic value of resting myocardial contrast echocardiography: a meta-analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Echo Research and Practice"
DOI: 10.1530/erp-20-0023
Abstract: Background: Resting myocardial perfusion (MP) and wall motion (WM) imaging during real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) improves the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, its prognostic role in different clinical settings (emergency department and… read more here.

Early and dynamic detection of doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity by myocardial contrast echocardiography combined with two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in rats
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine"
DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1063499
Abstract: Background Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is well-known as a side effect of chemotherapy. Currently, clinical imaging techniques are not capable to detect doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity before a functional decline. The purpose of this study was to evaluate… read more here.
