Detection of viable myocardium by transvenous myocardial contrast echocardiography using harmonic power Doppler: canine model of acute coronary occlusion and reperfusion.

abstract：:A nationwide study of acute myocardial infarction in Israel was carried out during a one-year period. There were 2,504 new and 968 repeated attacks. Annual incidence rate of first attacks was 0.9 per 1,000 (1.3 in men and 0.5 in women). Incidence was highest among the European born in both sexes. But, while the patter...
