New technology in echocardiography I: Doppler techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrasonic technology is in several ways ideally suited to cardiac research and to routine clinical examinations. It provides truly real time images and detailed information on moving anatomical structures and blood. The portable nature and relatively low cost of the equipment makes it well suited to use in hospitals. Ultrasonic technology for cardiology is still developing and in recent years this is occurring on diverse fronts such as transoesophageal transducers, catheter transducers, contrast agents, and Doppler imaging. The aim of this review is to assist the clinical user in keeping abreast of the technological advances.

Doppler echocardiography (DE) is known to be a valuable tool for detecting subclinical forms of valvular regurgitation (VRJ in theacutephase of rheumatic fever (RF). Previous studies have mostly dealt with the acute phase problem with only short-term follow-up. In this study, 24 children between 4-15 years of age (mean age II.X±2.7 years) with RF without clinically diagnosed carditis (most ...
متن کاملNon-invasive estimation of cardiac wall stress by using tissue doppler-echocardiography ultrasound images: People with coronary artery stenosis
In this study, a method for non-invasive estimation of stress on the heart wall in the diastole phase is presented using ultrasound echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress on the heart wall as a pre-diagnosis to identify people with coronary artery stenosis. 29 patients with stenosis of more than 70%, 30 patients with stenosis of 50 to 7...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricle Torsion by Tissue Doppler and Velocity Vector Imaging
Introduction Left ventricular (LV) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. Recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of LV twist. The aim of the present study was to compare LV twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (VVI) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) a...
