another use for contrast echo--in a rare type of cardiomyopathy not related2herceptin
... called islated left ventricular noncompaction...
Two-dimensional and color Doppler echocardiography has been
the diagnostic procedure of choice[for this rare form of cardiomyopathy]
, but the diagnosis is often missed
because of the limitations of near field imaging, especially in cases
with focal involvement such as the case presented here. Echo
contrast imaging improves the endocardial border definition and
could improve the detection of this rare type of cardiomyopathy,
which could otherwise be misdiagnosed.
