The subharmonic amplitude of SonoVue increases with hydrostatic pressure at low incident acoustic pressures

Physiologically important pressures in the heart and aorta are currently assessed with invasive pressure catheters. The subharmonic signal from microbubble ultrasound contrast agents, however, may be exploited to estimate pressures non-invasively. The objective of this work was (i) to develop a stat...
