The identification of viable myocardium within dysfunctional myocardium has important clinical implications. By using a microvascular tracer, myocardial contrast echocardiography may have the potential for prediction of myocardial viability in the acute and subacute phases of myocardial infarction. In the case presented, the normal myocardial perfusion observed after intravenous injection of the contrast agent, combined with severe wall motion abnormality following prolonged chest pain, suggested myocardial stunning. This was confirmed by normal coronary angiography and by restoration of normal left ventricular function at 1-month follow-up echocardiography.
