Assessment of myocardial viability by acoustic densitometry in patients with left ventricle dysfunction due to coronary artery disease

Original language description

Aim: The purpose of our study was to assess whether acoustic densitometry could distinguish between viable and irreversible dysfunctional myocardium in patients with coronary artery disease before myocardial revascularization. Methods: Seventy patients with chronic coronary artery disease and dysfunctional myocardial segments before planned myocardial revascularization were examined by acoustic densitometry. Fifty four patients had revascularization of at least one coronary artery supplying dysfunctional segments. Control echocardiography of these patients was performed after 3 months after bypass surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention for assessing contractility of revascularized, initially dysfunctional myocardial segments. The dysfunctional segments were defined as viable if they exhibited improvement in their thickening after revascularization. Wall motion was scored using 16-segment model of left ventricle, acoustic densitometry was evaluated from parasternal long axis view
