title: Detection of right ventricular myocardial perfusion and contractile reserve by contrast echocardiography and low dose dobutamine in myocardial infarction after successful right coronary angioplasty.
abstract: We assessed right ventricular myocardial reperfusion through intracoronary contrast and transesophageal echocardiography after right coronary angioplasty. Low dose dobutamine was used to demonstrate contractile reserve in areas with microvascular integrity.
