Abstract
Progress in the field of echocardiographic contrast agent combined with pro gress in imaging techniques (second harmonic imaging, intermittent imaging, Doppler Energy) should allow a real revolution in the field of noninvasive cardiac imaging, and one of the main advantages will probably be myocardia l perfusion imaging in ischaemic heart disease.
