Integrating myocardial metabolic imaging and stress myocardial contrast echocardiography to improve the diagnosis of coronary microvascular diseases in rabbits.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persistent challenges associated with misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) necessitate the exploration of noninvasive imaging techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, we aimed to integrate multimodal imaging approaches to achieve a higher diagnostic rate for CMVD using high-quality myocardial metabolism imaging (MMI) and myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). This combination diagnostic strategy may help address the urgent need for improved CMVD diagnosis.

Methods

In this study, we established five distinct pretreatment groups, each consisting of nine male rabbit: a fasted group, a nonfasted group, a sugar load group, an acipimox group, and a combination group of nonfasted rabbits administered insulin. Moreover
