摘要
Purpose of ReviewThe application of ultrasound-enhancing agents (contrast agents) has improved the accuracy and reproducibility of echocardiography. The review focuses on the currently approved and evolving indications for contrast echocardiography in patients with heart failure, specifically examining clinical studies conducted after the publication of the guidelines in 2017 and 2018.Recent FindingsThe current ASE/EACVI recommendations for contrast echocardiography are based on its accuracy and reproducibility in comparison to non-enhanced echocardiography or other imaging modalities like cardiac MRI. However, tissue characterization remains limited with contrast echocardiography. During the last few years, several studies have demonstrated the clinical impact of using contrast agents on the management of patients with heart failure. There is growing evidence on the benefit of using contrast echocardiography in critically ill patients where echocardiography without contrast agents is often suboptimal and other imaging methods are less feasible. There is no risk of worsening renal function after the administration of ultrasound-enhancing agents, and these agents can be administered even in patients with end-stage renal disease.SummaryContrast echocardiography has become a valuable tool for first-line imaging of patients with heart failure across the spectrum of patients with chronic heart failure to critically ill patients.
