Premature complexes (PCs) in the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal have been reported for myocardial contrast echocardiography and also for burst mode (physical therapy) ultrasound with gas body contrast agent at lower peak rarefactional pressure amplitudes (PRPAs). For contrast echocardiography, irreversibly injured cardiomyocytes have been associated with the arrhythmia. The objective was to determine if cardiomyocyte injury is associated with the PCs induced by the burst mode at lower PRPAs. Anesthetized rats were exposed to focused 1.5 MHz ultrasound in a water bath. Evans blue dye was injected IP to stain injured cardiomyocytes and Definity ultrasound contrast agent was infused IV. Continuous burst mode simulated physical therapy ultrasound. Intermittent 2 ms bursts, or envelopes of pulses simulating diagnostic ultrasound, were triggered 1:4 at end systole. PCs were observed on ECG recordings and stained cardiomyocytes were counted in frozen sections. The continuous burst mode produced variable PCs and stained cells above 0.3 MPa PRPA. The triggered bursts above 0.3 MPa and pulse envelopes above 1.2 MPa produced statistically significant (P<0.01) PCs and stained cardiomyocytes. Irreversible cardiomyocyte injury was associated with the development of PCs for burst mode and occurred at substantially lower PRPAs than for pulsed ultrasound.
