J Xiu, K Cui, Y Wang, H Zheng, G Chen, Q Feng… - Journal of the American …, 2017 - Elsevier
Background Myocardial perfusion (MP) imaging during stress myocardial contrast
echocardiography (MCE) improves the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD).
However, its prognostic value to predict cardiac events in patients with known or suspected
CAD is still undefined. Methods A search was conducted for single-or multicenter
prospective studies that evaluated the prognostic value of stress MCE in patients with known
or suspected CAD. A database search was performed through June 2015. Effect sizes of …
