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

Tissue Doppler imaging following paediatric cardiac surgery : early patterns of change and relationship to outcome [PDF]
In this study, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was used to assess changes in ventricular function following repair of congenital heart defects. The relationship between TDI indices, myocardial injury and clinical outcome was explored.

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

The effects of halothane and isoflurane on cardiovascular function in laterally recumbent horses [PDF]
Background. Experimental studies in adult horses have shown that general anaesthesia maintained with isoflurane is associated with less depression of cardiovascular function compared with halothane anaesthesia.
