A simple and inexpensive procedure to obtain M-mode tracings at any level or direction from two-dimensional echocardiograms is described. The method permits a complete M-mode visualization of 1) segmental motion of the cardiac walls, 2) structures difficult to reach with conventional procedures, and 3) two or more cardiac valves simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
