Research status and progresses of ultrasonic observation of cardiac function changes after percutaneous coronary intervention / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

With the aging of social structure, the incidence of cardiovascular disease is increasing. Timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an important method to treat acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and improve prognosis. Echocardiography has a prominent advantage in evaluating the ischemic myocardium and cardiac function in patients with ACS, therefore is of great significance in judging the development and prognosis. The applications of echocardiography in evaluating cardiac function changes after PCI were reviewed in this article.
