Risk stratification of patients is important to define prognosis, to guide medical management and to select patients suitable for revascularisation.

The Feasibility and Clinical Utility of Microsphere Contrast-enhanced Transthoracic Echocardiography in Adult Congenital Heart Disease.

Enhancement of the blood pool-tissue interface with contrast-enhanced TTE (CE-TTE) can improve image quality in suboptimal studies.
