Contrast-enhanced echocardiography in left ventricle wall motion abnormalities assessment in patient with left bundle branch block

https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0771-2017-6-59-65

Abstract

A patient with a new-onset complete left bundle branch block was investigated using contrast-enhanced echocardiography (SonoVue contrast agent). Routine two-dimensional echocardiography showed decreasing amplitude of endocardium movement in midventricular septum segments. Regional wall motion abnormalities were suspected. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography allowed to visualize clearly endocardial and epicardial surfaces and, on the basis of myocardial systolic thickening analysis, to exclude the presence of left ventricle regional wall motion abnormality.
