Usefulness of combined color Doppler/contrast in providing complete delineation of left ventricular cavity.
Contrast-enhanced 2-dimensional echocardiography without color Doppler did not result in complete filling of the left ventricular cavity in 21 patients studied. However, contrast-enhanced color Doppler was very effective and provided complete opacification of the left ventricular cavity in 20 of these 21 patients.
