Mashup Score: 4Incidence of Severe Adverse Drug Reactions to Ultrasound Enhancement Agents in a Contemporary Echocardiography Practice - 2 month(s) ago
Prior data indicate a very rare risk of serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) to ultrasound enhancement agents (UEAs). We sought to evaluate the frequen…

Mashup Score: 5Identification of Need for UltraSound Enhancing agent study (the IN-USE study) Short title: IN-USE study - 1 year(s) ago
Ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) are routinely used to improve transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) image quality, yet anticipation of UEA need is a barrier to their use.Structured report data from 171,509 consecutive TTEs on 97,515 patients who underwent …

Mashup Score: 1Identification of Need for Ultrasound Enhancing Agent Study (the IN-USE Study) - PubMed - 2 year(s) ago
In this large, single-center, retrospective study, UEA use remained substantially below rates of suboptimal image quality, despite increases over time. Among outpatients, a simple prediction rule using three routinely collected variables available before TTE image acquisition predicted potential ben …

Time and again, we find that #UEAs are a underutilized technology with proven efficacy and cost-effectiveness but perceived workflow barriers to use. Use remains low but can be improved through workflow solutions (https://t.co/OSox53xIkp). @icus_society @SteveFeinstein1 https://t.co/ZGTZJE2SGb

Mashup Score: 9A New Strategy for Left Ventricular Assist Device Outflow Graft Interrogation Using Ultrasound Contrast - 3 year(s) ago
Interrogation of the outflow graft (OTG)-ascending aorta anastomosis is an integral part of the transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) evaluation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) as it is important to confirm patency of this communication. However, it can be challenging to image the OTG anastomosis on TTE. Ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) have been used successfully to enhance…

5/ It is important to recognize that #UEAs nevertheless have one of the safest profiles of contrast media (https://t.co/2PPL235Uxb) and have substantial benefits re: improved image quality + diagnostic yield and are overall underused (https://t.co/UDe3d3Av9Z).
