Figure 1 Transthoracic echocardiogram, apical 4-chamber view. Note that on standard Imaging (left) there is no visualization of the left ventricular (LV) endocardium. However, contrast imaging (right) produces sharp delineation of the left ventricular endocardial borders. Both images are of the same patient, in the same view, and were taken within minutes of each other.
