Quantitative Doppler
&
Hemodynamic Assessment
   
  Overview
   
          The quantitative doppler & hemodynamic assessment section covers the measurements of area, volume, pressure and the derivations from those values. Normal flow patterns and velocity time integrals and their use are explained. Myocardial performance parameters along with basic concepts in evaluating regurgitation and stenosis are covered.  
   
  Objectives
   
  At the completion of this chapter, the student will be able to: 
   
 
  • Discuss 2D Hemodynamic Assessment
  • Identify Normal Intracardiac Flow Patterns
  • Explain Color Doppler Physics
  • Define Doppler Imaging
  • Discuss Quantitative Doppler
  • Identify Abnormal Flow Patterns
