pubmed-article:2189556 | pubmed:abstractText | Doppler echocardiographic determination of cardiac output has been well validated in clinical and experimental settings. Doppler measurement of volumetric flow rate remains useful in clinical practice in a wide variety of settings, especially when serial or comparative determinations are required. As improved echocardiographic equipment enhances image resolution and includes more sophisticated on-line analysis packages, the feasibility of expediently quantitating flow with Doppler echocardiography will be facilitated. | lld:pubmed |
