Summary

The purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze and compare conventional stress echocardiograms and real-time myocardial contrast stress echocardiograms; and to determine the effect of contrast agents used during real-time myocardial contrast stress echocardiograms on serum troponin I levels.

Detailed description

To compare two different stress echocardiograms (conventional Stress echocardiograms or Real-time Myocardial Contrast Stress Echocardiograms) that are in routine clinical use. The information, including the digital images that are collected during the stress tests is used to determine if the usse of specialized imaging techniques and ultrasound contrast can better detect blockage in blood flow to the heart and predict how patients outcome may be affected by this detection of a blockage.

Conditions

• Evaluation of Troponin I Levels

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dobutamine: Perflutren Lipid Microsphere	Dobutamine with starting dose of 10 micrograms/kg/min and increased gradually to a maximum dose of 50 micrograms/kg/min Definity will be infused continuously at a rate of 4mL/min
