Transesophageal dobutamine stress echocardiography with tissue doppler imaging for detection and assessment of coronary artery disease

Assessment of right ventricular function by strain rate imaging in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

“…The general principles that underlie the TDI modalities have been previously described [30]. Briefly, by excluding the lowintensity flow signals, the strong tissue signals derived from ventricular wall motion are sent directly into the autocorrelator without high-pass filtering.…”

Quantitative assessment of systolic and diastolic ventricular function with tissue Doppler imaging after Fontan type of operation

“…The general principles that underlie the TDI modalities have been described previously [17]. Briefly, by excluding the low-intensity flow signals, the strong tissue signals derived from myocardial motion are sent directly into the autocorrelator without high-pass filtering.…”

“…Assessment of cardiac function by TDI may be more sensitive than traditional methods. Previous studies from our laboratory and others have described this technique as a feasible method of assessing systolic and diastolic left ventricular function [15][16][17][18][19]. However, a systematic study on the capability of TDI to assess systolic and diastolic ventricular function after the Fontan operation is still missing.…”
