Intramachine and intermachine variability in transesophageal color doppler images of pulsatile jets: in vitro studies [PDF]
Background: Color Doppler flow mapping is widely used as a marker of severity of valvular regurgitation, and the transesophageal approach has provided high-quality images in patients with poor acoustic windows.

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

Quantification of left ventricular longitudinal strain, strain rate, velocity and displacement in healthy horses by 2-dimensional speckle tracking [PDF]
Background: The quantification of equine left ventricular (LV) function is generally limited to short-axis M-mode measurements. However, LV deformation is 3-dimensional (3D) and consists of longitudinal shortening, circumferential shortening, and radial ...

TEMPORAL INCOHERENCE ELIMINATION FOR 2D COLOR DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY VIA MASKING ALGORITHM [PDF]
Subject of Research. We introduce a novel method for resolving temporal incoherence in two-dimensional color Doppler echocardiography (2D CDE). Incoherence occurs when the temporal distance between frames is less than frame duration.

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...
