2. Echocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echocardiography

   Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart. It is a type of medical imaging, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. [ 1] The visual image formed using this technique is called an echocardiogram, a cardiac echo, or simply an echo . Echocardiography is routinely used in the ...

3. Transthoracic echocardiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transthoracic_echocardiogram

   A transthoracic echocardiogram(TTE) is the most common type of echocardiogram, which is a still or moving image of the internal parts of the heart using ultrasound. In this case, the probe (or ultrasonic transducer) is placed on the chestor abdomenof the subject to get various views of the heart. It is used as a non-invasive assessment of the ...

4. Doppler echocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_echocardiography

   Doppler echocardiography is a procedure that uses Doppler ultrasonography to examine the heart. [ 1] An echocardiogram uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of the heart while the use of Doppler technology allows determination of the speed and direction of blood flow by utilizing the Doppler effect .

5. Transesophageal echocardiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesophageal_echocardiogram

   A transesophageal echocardiogram ( TEE; also spelled transoesophageal echocardiogram; TOE in British English) is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram. A specialized probe containing an ultrasound transducer at its tip is passed into the patient's esophagus. [ 1] This allows image and Doppler evaluation which can be recorded.

6. E/A ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E/A_ratio

   E/A ratio. The E/A ratio is a marker of the function of the left ventricle of the heart. It represents the ratio of peak velocity blood flow from left ventricular relaxation in early diastole (the E wave) to peak velocity flow in late diastole caused by atrial contraction (the A wave). [ 1] It is calculated using Doppler echocardiography, an ...
