Transpulmonary contrast echocardiography: effects on delineation of endocardial border, assessment of wall motion and interobserver variability in stress echocardiograms of limited image quality

Abstract

TCE enhances endocardial border delineation in apical views at rest and during DSE, resulting in a decrease of interobserver variability and an improvement in assessment of wall motion. Use of TCE, at least how it was applied in this investigation, seems not to be indicated for parasternal projections.
