Intracardiac Shunts and Role of Tissue Doppler Imaging in Diagnosis and Discrimination
Background: We sought to assess right ventricular (RV) systolic and diastolic functions via tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in order to discriminate right-to-left (bidirectional) from left-to-right intracardiac shunts. Methods: A tissue Doppler velocity study via Doppler echocardiography was performed...
