Analysis by pulsed Doppler tissue imaging of ventricular interaction in long-distance competitive swimmers

Pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) extends Doppler applications from the analysis of cardiac blood flow to that of myocardial wall motion by analyzing wall velocities and time intervals. Caso et al combined the use of right ventricular and left ventricular annular DTI and standard Doppler echocardi...

Description
Summary:Pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) extends Doppler applications from the analysis of cardiac blood flow to that of myocardial wall motion by analyzing wall velocities and time intervals. Caso et al combined the use of right ventricular and left ventricular annular DTI and standard Doppler echocardiography to investigate possible physiologic interaction between the left and right ventricles in long-distance swimmers.
