OBJECTIVES: We aimed to validate contrast-enhanced echocardiography (CE) in the quantification of microvascular obstruction (MO) against magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the histopathologic standards of radioactive microspheres and thioflavin-S staining.

Angiographic blush indexes of myocardial reperfusion have been recently associated with the quantification of microvascular obstruction areas assessed by CMR [ 3].
