Echocardiography is a reliable and commonly used method to examine cardiac diseases.
Recent employment of modern technologies provides new opportunities to study left
ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) also in small rodents. LV volumes
as most important prognostic parameters can be estimated by noncontrast enhanced
echocardiography in rats from M-mode or single cross sections only. In this study, contrast
enhanced echocardiography and volume measurements by the biplane method of discs …
