Detection of right ventricular myocardial perfusion and contractile reserve by contrast echocardiography and low dose dobutamine in myocardial infarction after successful right coronary angioplasty.
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.
