Doppler echocardiography is a procedure that uses Doppler ultrasonography to examine the heart. [1] An echocardiogram uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of the heart while the use of Doppler technology allows determination of the speed and direction of blood flow by utilizing the Doppler effect .
Pulsus bisferiens, also known as biphasic pulse, is an aortic waveform with two peaks per cardiac cycle, a small one followed by a strong and broad one. [1] It is a sign of problems with the aorta , including aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation , as well as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causing subaortic stenosis.
Absence of the portal system in a first trimester case associated with hygroma and aorto-umbilical fistula. (A): Transverse plane of the upper abdomen with color Doppler applied, showing umbilical cord insertion, stomach, the prominent hepatic artery and no afferent liver venous perfusion; (B): midsagittal plane reconstructed from a three-dimensional volume acquisition were the crown-rump ...
The jugular venous pulsation has a biphasic waveform. The a wave corresponds to right atrial contraction and ends synchronously with the carotid artery pulse. The peak of the 'a' wave demarcates the end of atrial systole. The x descent follows the 'a' wave and corresponds to atrial relaxation and rapid atrial filling due to low pressure.
The terms tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and tissue velocity imaging (TVI) are usually synonymous with TDE because echocardiography is the main use of tissue Doppler. Like Doppler flow, tissue Doppler can be acquired both by spectral analysis ( spectral density estimation ) as pulsed Doppler [ 1 ] and by the autocorrelation technique as colour ...
Wellens' Syndrome is a pattern of biphasic T waves in V2–3. It is generally present in patients with ischemic chest pain. Type 1: T-waves are symmetrically and deeply inverted; Type 2: T-waves are biphasic with negative terminal deflection and positive initial deflection [5]
In March, a mother was horrified to find a pedophile symbol on a toy she bought for her daughter. Although the symbol was not intentionally placed on the toy by the company who manufactured the ...
Biphasic (or diphasic, bifurcated, or bimodal) sleep refers to two periods, while polyphasic usually means more than two. [1] Segmented sleep and divided sleep may refer to polyphasic or biphasic sleep, but may also refer to interrupted sleep , where the sleep has one or several shorter periods of wakefulness, as was the norm for night sleep in ...
