Disclosure
• Thomas R Porter, MD has the following conflict of interests to disclose:
• Grant Support – General Electric Global Healthcare; Astellas Pharma, Inc., Lantheus Medical Imaging, Philips Healthcare
• Equipment Support – Philips Healthcare• GE Global Healthcare

Background• Conventional Stress Echocardiography (CSE):
– Compares wall motion during rest and stress echocardiography
– Ultrasound contrast • Used for FDA Approved Indication• 2 or more contiguous segments not visualized
![Page 4: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815e35550346895dcc98a0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Real time Myocardial Contrast Echo (RTMCE)
• Improve left ventricular opacification• Real time myocardial perfusion
– Perfusion and Wall Motion• Improves Detection of CAD• Improves Predictive Power of Stress Echo
• No prospective comparison with conventional stress echo (CSE) performed.
![Page 5: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815e35550346895dcc98a0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Objective• Prospectively compare the ability of CSE and
RTMCE to predict outcome of patients referred for suspicion of coronary artery disease, and who are at intermediate risk
![Page 6: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815e35550346895dcc98a0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Secondary Objectives
• Determine what effect RTMCE and CSE had on prediction of revascularization, death, or non-fatal MI
• Determine what effect training experience with contrast imaging had on the predictive value of either CSE or RTMCE.

Summary• Abnormal studies are more frequently detected
with RTMCE when compared to CSE, and more frequently lead to revascularization
• A resting wall motion abnormality during RTMCE is the most powerful predictor of outcome
• Negative predictive value of a dobutamine or exercise SE, when performed with RTMCE versus CSE, is not different.
![Page 29: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815e35550346895dcc98a0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Limitations• Reviewer experience/training
– Critical for contrast use for CSE and RTMCE• CSE results may be different if contrast not
utilized. – Contrast Use was >60% for CSE in this study
• Baseline Differences Between Groups
![Page 30: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815e35550346895dcc98a0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusions
• Both RTMCE and CSE (with 60% contrast use) have excellent negative predictive value
• RTMCE –Combined Perfusion and WM–Can detect high risk patients–Potentially Alter Their Outcome
