Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Two expert echocardiographers will be asked to review in a blinded fashion the non-contrast echocardiogram, interpret the ejection fraction, and assess regional wall motion abnormalities in each of the 17 myocardial segments. They will then be asked to predict the infarct-related artery (either LAD, LCx, or RCA).
A proposed sample size of 100 patients presenting to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with their first NSTEMI will be studied. Based on hospital volume, approximately 4-5 NSTEMI patients present to Cedars-Sinai on a weekly basis, of which at least 2 will be eligible per week. Based on this trend, we feel we can achieve the necessary sample size within 12 months.
Inclusion criteria will be patients aged 31-90 presenting with World Health Organization diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, which encompass 2 out of the following 3 criteria: a clinical history of chest pain unrelieved by nitroglycerin, ECG evidence of cardiac ischemia (ST segment depression or T wave inversion), and enzymatic evidence of myocardial infarction (elevation of TnI or CKMB). Patients should be clinically eligible for coronary angiography.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Echocardiogram
Patients presenting with NSTEMI who are scheduled to undergo elective cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography with primary PCI will be selected for participation in the study. The patients will undergo a clinically indicated resting non-contrast echocardiogram to assess LV function and regional wall motion. They will then undergo contrast echocardiography with bolus injection of Optison™ contrast to reassess LV ejection fraction, improve LV opacification and assess regional wall motion abnormalities. Finally, they will be given a continuous infusion of Optison™ and will have assessment of myocardial perfusion of each of the 17 myocardial segments using low mechanical index continuous imaging of the myocardium and blood pool.
Echocardiogram
1. Contrast echocardiography with Optison for assessment of regional wall motion. This will be performed immediately following the resting echocardiogram by a sonographer specifically trained in myocardial contrast echocardiography.
2. Contrast echocardiogram with Optison for assessment of myocardial perfusion. This will be performed using a continuous infusion of Optison using low mechanical index power-modulation imaging of the myocardium and blood pool. Myocardial perfusion will be assessed offline using video intensity analysis software.
