Can myocardial contrast echocardiography quantify changes in intramyocardial blood volume during coronary stenosis in experimental models?
Myocardial contrast echocardiography can quantify autoregulatory increases in intramyocardial blood volume, demonstrating potential as a technique for detecting coronary artery disease at rest.
Wu et al. (1997) studied this question.
