Abstract:SUMMARYPulsed Doppler echocardiography (PDE) was performed on 41 patients with aortic insufficiency (AI), isolated or associated with other cardiac diseases, using an ATL 500A pulsed Doppler system. The diagnosis was confirmed by angiocardiography in 25 cases. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the disturbed flow due to AI, to investigate the sensitivity of PDE to this lesion, and to compare with the angiographic severity of AI (Sellers). The transducer was placed on the left sternal border and th… Show more
