Figure 1 Representative myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) images in patients with an anterior wall acute myocardial infarction (apical two-chamber view). (Left) Good contrast enhancement, with injection of sonicated contrast agent into the left coronary artery, was observed within the area at risk, and this patient had reflow on MCE. (Right) In contrast, a substantial amount of contrast defect was observed within the area at risk (area between arrows), even after successful opening of the culprit lesion, and this patient had no-reflow on MCE.
