PurposeWe previously reported that acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) with concomitant administration of perfluorobutane as an ultrasound contrast agent (UCA)-induced arrhythmias at a mechanical index (MI) of 1.8 or 4.0 in a rabbit model. The present study identified the location of arrhythmias with a MI < 1.8 using a new system that can transmit ARFI with B-mode imaging.MethodsUnder general anesthesia, six male Japanese white rabbits were placed in a supine position. Using this system, we targeted ARFI to the exact site of the heart. ARFI exposure with MI 0.9–1.2 was performed to the right or left ventricle of the heart 2 min after UCA injection.ResultsARFI with a MI lower than previously reported to rabbit heart evoked extrasystolic waves with single UCA infusion. Arrhythmias were not observed using ARFI without UCA. Extrasystolic waves were observed significantly more frequently in the right ventricle group than in the left ventricle group, with arrhythmias showing reversed shapes. No fatal arrhythmias were observed.ConclusionARFI applied to simulate clinical conditions in rabbit heart evoked extrasystolic waves with single UCA infusion. The right ventricle group was significantly more sensitive to ARFI exposure, resulting in arrhythmias, than the left ventricle group. The shapes of PVCs that occurred in the right ventricle group and the left ventricle group were reversed. Ultrasound practitioners who use ARFI should be aware of this adverse reaction, even if the MI is below the previously determined value of 1.9.
