Performance of contrast enhancement on acute myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) for the prediction of early (day 9) and late (day 42) wall motion recovery
| Sensitivity | Specificity | Positive predictive value | Negative predictive value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall motion recovery at day 9 | ||||
| MCE score 1 | 36/44 (82%) | 76/130 (58%) | 36/90 (40%) | 76/84 (90%) |
| MCE score 0.5 + 1 | 42/44 (95%) | 39/130 (30%) | 42/133 (31%) | 39/41 (95%) |
| Wall motion recovery at day 42 | ||||
| MCE score 1 | 39/49 (80%) | 52/83 (63%) | 39/70 (56%) | 52/62 (84%) |
| MCE score 0.5 + 1 | 45/49 (92%) | 31/83 (37%) | 45/97 (46%) | 31/35 (89%) |
MCE score 1: values calculated with adequate myocardial perfusion defined as segmental contrast enhancement grade 1.
MCE score 0.5 + 1: values calculated with adequate myocardial perfusion defined as segmental contrast enhancement grade 0.5 or 1.
