Intervention

Exercise Doppler Echocardiography

Exercise Doppler echocardiography is a promising but technically demanding method for evaluating left ventricular performance and detecting ischemia-induced changes.

Limitations

Assumption that ultrasound beam is parallel to flow may not be true
Assumption of flat flow profile may not be true
Orientation of beam and flow could change during exercise
Problems measuring aortic area
Deterioration of signal quality during exercise
