چکیده
The present review is designed to demonstrate some most practical and widely recognized areas of clinical Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI) application. The history and principles of the method are briefly described. In order to understand the potential of myocardial velocity imaging, the relationship between myocardial architecture and function is covered. The attention is focused on possibilities of DMI to diagnose and monitor myocardial ischemia and evaluate global and regional diastolic function. Other applications of DMI in daily practice and perspectives of the method are reviewed as well.

Role of tissue Doppler and strain echocardiography in current clinical practice.
Visual or semiautomated tracking of the endocardial border provide estimates of cardiac volume, which are used to derive ejection fraction, a quantitative indicator of ventricular function. However, the heart is a complex mechanical organ that undergoes cyclic changes in multiple dimensions that ultimately effect a change in chamber volume that results in ejection of blood. Regardless of imagin...
متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
