This study compares "contrast specific imaging setting" images with "left ventricular opacification (LVO)" images taken on the same group of patients at different points in time, to see if one is more effective at assessing the function of the heart.
Ultrasound testing of the heart using a "dye" or contrast is often used to get clear pictures of the heart in many heart conditions. When this test is done when the heart is working hard, such as when exercising, this is called contrast stress echocardiography.
Current guidelines recommend the method called "contrast specific imaging setting," as the best way of looking at the main pumping part of the heart. However, it is not known if it provides better pictures when compared to a different method called "left ventricular opacification (LVO)."
This study will compare pictures in patients who have had tests done using both ways of looking at the heart and will compare; LVO; enhanced and unenhanced LVEBD; LVO imaging with contrast specific imaging Wall Motion Classification and LVO to contrast specific imaging Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF). The comparison will be done by a group of experts in cardiac ultrasound.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To determine whether the technique left ventricular opacification (LVO) imaging provide better quality images than current best practice "contrast specific imaging setting," in patients routinely referred for a transthoracic echocardiogram. | 8 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To determine whether the technique LVO imaging provide better quality images than the current best practice for comparison of segmental LVEBD between images obtained by LVO imaging (intermediate MI) and contrast specific imaging (low MI). | 8 months | |
| To determine whether the technique LVO imaging provide better quality images than the current best practice for comparison of wall motion classification between images obtained by LVO imaging (intermediate MI) and contrast specific imaging (low MI). |

From the 120 patients enrolled in the Luminity 422 clinical trial a cohort of participants underwent independent contrast specific imaging as part of their clinical management, during the time of recruitment for the trial. The contrast specific imaging data of these patients will be used.
Sixty participants from the total of one hundred twenty patients that participated in the Luminity 422 clinical trial are planned to be enrolled in the study. They will have undergone further clinical echocardiographic assessment for other clinical reasons using the recommended contrast specific imaging setting by the same vendor.
