Accelerated Stress Real-Time Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease: Comparison with 99mTc Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Accelerated vasodilator stress real-time MCE yields a good concordance with SPECT in detection of perfusion defects and a similar diagnostic value for the detection of CAD. The addition of MCE perfusion data improves the diagnostic value of stress echocardiography.
