[Contrast echocardiography and myocardial perfusion: what is the current status?].
Progress in the field of echocardiographic contrast agent combined with progress in imaging techniques (second harmonic imaging, intermittent imaging, Doppler Energy) should allow a real revolution in the field of noninvasive cardiac imaging, and one of the main advantages will probably be myocardial perfusion imaging in ischaemic heart disease.
