Core Tip The use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) during resting echocardiography can improve diagnostic accuracy by adequately assessing left ventricular (LV) function. Compared to standard echocardiograms, UCAs, when used, allow physicians to better assess regional wall motion abnormalities and LV ejection fraction. As a result, patients with LV apex disease can be accurately diagnosed without additional imaging. This consequently shortens hospital stays and improves patient outcomes.
