Abstract:
Tissue Doppler based velocity and deformation measurements allow the quantitative and thus objective assessment of myocardial function. So far, many techniques and parameters have been developed, most of which require an explanation for the clinical user. This article reviews relevant tissue Doppler parameters and gives examples of the current clinical usage of this technique.
