Introduction The diversity of Doppler ultrasound technology in medicine continues to increase ( 1 , 2 ). This paper summarises developed Doppler technology which is usually beam/velocity angle dependent. It then describes the use of velocity

via the Bernoulli equation from the peak blood velocity of the forward flow on continuous-wave Doppler, however, this does not provide us with an estimate of the absolute pressure in either chamber. RV filling in early diastole can be assessed using

dilatation and depressed intra-atrial conduction determine the total time required for atrial electrical activation (8) . Various Doppler echocardiography-derived parameters have been described that estimate atrial conduction time as a marker of electrical

problems that need to be addressed: Why was there a significant change in aortic valve gradients from one TTE to the other? Do we disproportionately rely on Doppler gradients when visibility of prosthetic valve leaflets is poor due to imaging

changes seen in the SVC flow profile (which reflect the changes seen in the jugular venous pulse (JVP) waveform upon physical examination) before and after pericardiocentesis. SVC Doppler interrogation may be particularly valuable for determining the

interventricular sulcus, which is relatively close to the chest wall. Owing to these anatomical circumstances, the distal part of the LAD can be well detected by conventional 2D transthoracic colour-coded Doppler echocardiography in almost all cases ( 1 , 2 , 3
