Figure 1 Myocardial contrast echocardiograms (apical four chamber view) at day 0 (left) and day 9 (right) in a patient with anterior myocardial infarction. Left: Immediately after successful angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery (TIMI grade 3 flow), significant "no-reflow" phenomenon is observed in the risk area after injection of contrast medium in the left main coronary artery. Right: At day 9, a marked improvement in contrast pattern is observed in the area of initial no-reflow.
