Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the type of arrhythmias induced with therapeutic versus diagnostic transthoracic low-frequency ultrasound (TLFUS) transducers in the presence of intravenous microbubbles. Methods. Intravenous perfluorocarbon-exposed sonicated dextrose albumin (PESDA) microbubbles were infused or given as a bolus injection while TLFUS was applied in the standard parasternal and apical views with either a 1-MHz therapeutic ultrasound transducer or high-mechanical-index diagnostic ultrasound (11.7 MHz). Results. Significantly more ectopy was produced by the therapeutic transducer, especially at higher-intensity settings in the continuous wave mode after bolus injections of PESDA (P
