Doppler echocardiography: A contemporary review [PDF]
The 2D echocardiographic examination of the heart provides insight into structure and function, providing a precise anatomical display of the cardiovascular anatomy with high temporal resolution. Prior to advances in 2D imaging, Doppler echocardiography had been the mainstay of cardiovascular noninvasive assessment. Doppler echocardiography, remains an

Abnormal myocardial performance index in M-mode color tissue Doppler-echocardiography [PDF]
The myocardial performance index (MPI) is used for global systolic-diastolic left ventricular function and prognosis assessment in patients with heart disease, allowing assessment of the patient‘s current condition and disease development follow-up.

Assessment Of Left Ventricular Systolic Function By Speckle Tracking Echocardiography In Young Hypertensive Patients [PDF]
Background: Tissue Speckle Tracking examines speckle aberrations in an echo picture to determine myocardial contractility and relaxation. Reflections, refraction, and dispersion of echo beams generate speckles.

Evaluations of Left Anterior Descendant Coronary Artery Stenosis by Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography as Compared with Physiological Parameters Measured by Pressure Wire [PDF]
Background: In coronary angiography (CAG), fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are widely measured for evaluating physiological ischemia and indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). On the other hand, the

Evaluation of Myocardial Injury using Standard Diagnostic Tools and Tissue Doppler Imaging in Blunt Trauma Chest [PDF]
Introduction: Myocardial contusion is an entity in chest trauma which is difficult to diagnose. Current practice relies more on cardiac-specific biochemical markers and standard echocardiography, but no gold standard test exists.
