Identification of cardiac abnormal structures with harmonic power Doppler contrast echocardiography

Echocardiography. 2001 Aug;18(6):537-8. doi: 10.1046/j.1540-8175.2001.00537.x.

Abstract

We describe two cases in which echocardiographic image enhancement with an intravenous contrast agent using harmonic power Doppler (HPD) imaging established the diagnosis of abnormal structures in the left ventricle (LV).
