| pubmed-article:20189849 | pubmed:abstractText | The mid-systolic deceleration (notch) in the proximal descending aortic Doppler waveform was reported to be common in patients with aorto-iliac disease. However, evaluation of the descending aorta is limited to echocardiography and may be technically difficult. Therefore, we decided to check whether similar Doppler flow disturbance can be found in abdominal aorta, which is easily evaluated in wider range of patients undergoing general abdominal and vascular ultrasound, as well as echocardiography. | lld:pubmed |
