Why the study?
Does spectral Doppler cardiac activity in lower limb veins correlate with echocardiographic findings of tricuspid regurgitation in adults?
Does spectral Doppler cardiac activity in lower limb veins correlate with echocardiographic findings of tricuspid regurgitation in adults?
Spectral Doppler ultrasound of lower limb veins can reliably detect cardiac activity that strongly correlates with the presence of tricuspid regurgitation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Lower limb vein velocity differences may indicate tricuspid regurgitation; leaves open diagnostic utility versus echocardiography in prospective studies.
A correlation was found between the cardiac activities in the lower limb veins and tricuspid regurgitation. A correlation was found between the cardiac activities in the lower limb veins and tricuspid regurgitation.
