超声微泡技术的重大进展，现在允许可靠的，可重复的左心室显影，这篇评论重申的证据表明，造影超声心动图是临床有效的，以减少下游成本和节省患者进一步的，潜在的危险的调查。尽管有证据和进展，但世界各地的超声心动图实验室对造影剂的管理仍然存在矛盾，特别是在静息研究中。因此，本综述还讨论了造影剂摄取欠佳的一些原因，并鼓励医生、超声医师和认证机构对难以成像的患者采取不同的方法。（美国科尔心脏病学杂志2010;3：188-96）（C）美国心脏病学会基金会2010年
The significant advances made in ultrasound microbubble technology now permits reliable, reproducible left ventricular opacification, and this review reiterates the evidence that has shown contrast echocardiography to be clinically effective, to reduce downstream costs and to spare patients further, potentially hazardous investigations. Despite the evidence and the advances, there remains ambivalence towards the administration of contrast agents in echocardiography laboratories throughout the world, particularly in the performance of rest studies. Therefore, this review also addresses some of the reasons for the suboptimal uptake of contrast agents and encourages physicians, sonographers, and accreditatory bodies to adopt a different approach towards the difficult-to-image patient.
