Impact of High Mechanical Index Ultrasound Impulses on Left Ventricular Stroke Volume With Intravenous Microbubbles
- Conditions
- Cardiac Disease
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: high MI impulsesDiagnostic Test: low MI impulses
- Registration Number
- NCT05700032
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Nebraska
- Brief Summary
This study will investigate whether applying high mechanical index (MI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer when using ultrasound enhancing agent (UEA) microbubble infusion will result in subclinical improvement in left ventricle systolic function.
- Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether applying high MI impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer when using ultrasound enhancing agent(UEA) microbubble infusion will result in subclinical improvement in LV systolic function detected by left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT VTI).
