high MI: The Impact of High Mechanical Index Ultrasound Impulses on Left Ventricular Stroke Volume in Patients Receiving Intravenous Microbubbles
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether applying high MI impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer when using ultrasound enhancing agent(UEA) microbubble infusion will result in subclinical improvement in LV systolic function detected by LVOT VTI.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: high MI patients receiving high MI impulses |
Diagnostic Test: high MI impulses
patients will receive intermittent high MI impulses(>1.0) in addition to low MI imaging. LVOT VTI will be measured at different times per protocol.
|
Active Comparator: low MI patients receiving low MI impulses |
Diagnostic Test: low MI impulses
patients will receive low MI imaging only. LVOT VTI will be measured at different times per protocol.
