Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Evaluating cardiovascular physiology in mice requires precise measurement tools.
  • Existing clinical Doppler systems have limitations in resolution and frequency range for detailed murine cardiovascular analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a high-frequency, high-resolution Doppler spectrum analyzer (DSPW) for enhanced cardiovascular and peripheral vascular physiology studies in mice.
  • To compare the performance of the DSPW against a clinical Medasonics spectrum analyzer (MSA) and a zero-crossing interval histogram (ZCIH).

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel high-frequency, high-resolution Doppler spectrum analyzer (DSPW).
  • Compared DSPW measurements of aortic velocity, acceleration, ejection time, and isovolumic relaxation time against an adapted clinical Medasonics spectrum analyzer (MSA).

  • Assessed aortic pulse wave velocity using both DSPW and ZCIH.

    • Main Results:

    • DSPW determined significantly higher aortic velocity and acceleration compared to MSA.
    • DSPW revealed shorter aortic ejection times and longer isovolumic relaxation times than MSA due to shorter temporal velocity spectra.
    • No significant difference was found in aortic pulse wave velocity between DSPW and ZCIH.
    • DSPW enabled detection of high stenotic jet velocities, vortex shedding frequencies, and subtle peripheral vascular wave shape changes.

    Conclusions:

    • The DSPW demonstrates superior performance for evaluating cardiovascular physiology in mice compared to the MSA.
    • The DSPW offers advanced capabilities for studying peripheral vascular physiology in various mouse models.
    • The DSPW facilitates novel applications in cardiovascular research previously unattainable with clinical Doppler systems.
