Therapeutic Ultrasound Improves Myocardial Blood Flow and Reduces Infarct Size in a Canine Model of Coronary Microthromboembolism

•Therapeutic ultrasound at 1.05 MHz reduces infarct size in a myocardial microemboli model •This effect is not seen at 0.25 MHz, which was also associated with increased inflammation •Therapeutic ultrasound could be used as adjunctive therapy in acute myocardial infarction Background Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) has been used to lyse infarct-related coronary artery thrombus. There has been no study examining the effect of TUS specifically on...
