Doppler echocardiography

Doppler cardiac ultrasonography Cardiology A noninvasive imaging modality for assessing hemodynamics, based on the Doppler effect on ultrasound-US waves; DE estimates transvalvular gradients and calculates valve–aortic, mitral area; it has been used to evaluate congenital shunts, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, left ventricular inflow–eg parachute deformity, cor triatriatum and outflow–eg congenital aortic valve stenosis, subaortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy obstruction, atrioventricular valve regurgitation and other lesions
