perfusion
This video shows a severe apical perfusion defect during a stress echo with adenosine. A high degree stenosis of the left descending artery (LAD) was verified: This video shows a short sequence, starting with a “flash”, followed by the replenishment of the microbubbles. There is a hyokinesia in the apex. The duration of the perfusion…
