Color-coded tissue Doppler echocardiography, including curved M-mode analysis and strain rate imaging, provides new diagnostic capabilities for the evaluation of cardiac function.
Tissue Doppler echocardiography, including curved M-mode and strain rate imaging, offers new technological advances for the evaluation of cardiac function.
Enhances cardiac function assessment with advanced Doppler methods; leaves open validation before routine clinical adoption.
The use of color-coded tissue Doppler echocardiography has resulted in rapid technological advances in the evaluation of cardiac function. This article describes some of these exciting new advances, including curved M-mode analysis and strain rate imaging. Data from studies in animals and humans are presented to demonstrate the potential clinical use of this new echocardiographic diagnostic tool.
