Percent change in MCE variables compared to baseline values (n = 6, mean ± 1SEM).
Primary stenosis | Secondary stenosis | ||
---|---|---|---|
Variable | Before adenosine | During adenosine | (No adenosine) |
A | −39 ± 9 | 118 ± 40* | −33 ± 14 |
B | −45 ± 11 | −25 ± 25 | −46 ± 9 |
A · β (MCE-derived MBF) | −63 ± 11 | 97 ± 59* | −63 ± 12 |
MCE, myocardial contrast echocardiography; MBF, myocardial blood flow.
p < 0.05 vs. baseline—primary stenosis before adenosine.
