Abstract
To assess the immediate change in collateral flow distribution within the occluded myocardium and the acute protective effects on myocardial ischemia after coronary occlusion, myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) was performed in 15 patients with normal left ventricular function undergoing elective coronary angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery, and the results were compared with those obtained from coronary angiography (CA). The sonicated or nonsonicated contrast material was injected into the right coronary artery before and during coronary occlusion and collaterals were graded on a 4-point scale (none = 0 to good = 3). Development of subjective anginal symptoms, ST-segment shift and wall motion abnormality during coronary occlusion were graded on a 4-point scale (none = 0 to severe = 3). Both MCE and CA detected a significant development in collateral flow during coronary occlusion. There was no significant correlation between MCE and CA collateral grades before or during coronary occlusion. The collateral flow assessed with MCE was inversely but significantly correlated with development of subjective anginal symptoms (r(s) = -0.70, p <0.01), ST-segment shift (r(s) = -0.78, p < 0.005) or wall motion abnorm...Continue Reading
