Abstract:

Introduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Persistence of this fetal structure beyond 10 days of life is considered abnormal. In this study we compared M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis of PDA in children at Aliasghar Hospital in Zahedan and Children hospital in Bandar Abbas for one year. Methods: We selected 62 patients that were suspicious to have PDA on physical examination. It should be mentioned that we omitted patients with other congenital cardiac abnormalities such as truncus arteriosus, ASD, VSD and AVSD. Our patients were below 15 years old. Before echocardiography, physical examination, CXR and ECG were done for the patients. Then, they were evaluated with both MMode and Doppler Echocardiography and finally results were statistically analyzed. Results: Out of 62 patients, 34 were female and 28 were male. 51.6% patients were less than one year old and others were older. 85% of patients had cardiac murmur on physical examination and in 50% of them pulmonary component of second heart sound was increased. Peripheral pounding pulses were present in 85% of patients. In chest X-Ray, 82.3% of patients had increased cardiothoracic ratio and pulmonary vascular markings were increased in 85.5% of them. On ECG, 58.1% of patients had signs of right and left or bilateral ventricular hypertrophy. Pulmonary hypertension was also seen in 51.6% of patients. PDA was diagnosed with M-Mode echocardiography in 56 patients (90.3%) and with Doppler echocardiography in 61 patients (98.4%). According to McNemar statistical analysis, there was not an obvious difference between these two methods of echocardiography in PDA diagnosis (p=0.125). Conclusion: Findings of this study showed that M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography for diagnosis of PDA in children are similar and again attention to M-Mode echocardiography can be helpful in diagnosis of PDA in children especially restless infants and neonates

Correlation between velocity measurements from Doppler echocardiography and from M-mode contrast echocardiography.

The slope of an individual contrast trajectory on M-mode contrast echocardiography represents a physiological variable similar to that measured by Doppler echocardiography: the projection of the intracardiac velocity vector in the direction of the sound beam. To test the hypothesis that M-mode contrast echocardiography slope measurement can yield information quantitatively similar to Doppler me...

Editorial: Comparison of M-mode and Two-dimensional Echocardiography

IN THE PRECEDING ARTICLE in this issue of Circulation, Wann et al. compare features of M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography as used in patients with infective endocarditis. Their discussion should arouse curiosity about the implied conflict between M-mode and the newer, two-dimensional approach for general ultrasonic imaging of the heart. M-mode echocardiography has well-known capabiliti...

Discrepancies in the measurement of isovolumic relaxation time: a study comparing M mode and Doppler echocardiography.

Mitral valve cusp separation on M mode echogram, the mitral valve opening artefact, and the onset of forward transmitral flow recorded by Doppler echocardiography have all been taken to mark the end of isovolumic relaxation, while its onset has been taken either as the aortic closure sound (A2) recorded phonocardiographically or the aortic closure artefact determined by Doppler technique. Possi...

Reference values from M-mode and Doppler echocardiography for normal Syrian hamsters.

AIMS Echocardiography has recently been introduced to small animal research, allowing serial measurements of cardiac diseases. In addition, the hamster model has been increasingly used, as it mimics many human heart conditions. However, no reference range of echocardiographic values reflecting normal left ventricular (LV) function exists for hamsters. The purpose of this study was to provide on...
