Because pulmonary veins are located far from the transducer in the apical 4-chamber view, PV flow assessment by pulsed Doppler TTE is thought to be limited in some cases. Although a recent report suggested that transthoracic measur...
متن کاملIntra- and inter-observer reproducibility of transthoracic pulmonary venous Doppler flow indices after acute myocardial infarction.
AIMS To examine the intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of pulmonary venous flow indices in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS Two investigators, blinded to the results of the other examination, each examined 28 clinically stable post infarction patients in sinus rhythm. The two stored digital Doppler recordings from each patient were analysed in a blinded manner by both...
متن کاملDoppler analysis of pulmonary venous flow in left atrial myxoma.
In a patient with obstructive left atrial myxoma, we analyzed by pulsed Doppler echocardiography the flow pattern through the mitral valve and in the pulmonary veins. Two mitral flow patterns were observed: the first was present near the medial commissure and along the anterior leaflet and was characterized by the absence of mid-to-late diastolic filling flow; the second was found near the late...
متن کاملPrognostic value of pulmonary venous flow Doppler signal in left ventricular dysfunction: contribution of the difference in duration of pulmonary venous and mitral flow at atrial contraction.
OBJECTIVES We assessed the contribution of difference in duration of pulmonary venous and mitral flow at atrial contraction (ARd-Ad) for prognostic stratification of patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. BACKGROUND Although pulmonary venous flow (PVF) variables may supplement mitral flow patterns in evaluating left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, their value to the pr...
