Definity, echo contrast, induced cardiac arrest: brief review of the literature
Abstract
Definity is a contrast media used to enhance the endocardium during echocardiography. Cardiac arrest as an adverse reaction to Definity is still a debate. We are presenting a rare case of a 69-year-old male patient who developed cardiopulmonary arrest immediately after Definity injection during resting echocardiography.
