Color Doppler imaging can quantify contraction at the tip of the LAA
May 14th, 2003
Color Doppler imaging can quantify contraction at the tip of the left atrial appendage (LAA). According to recent research published in the Echocardiography-a Journal of Cardiovascular Ultrasound and Allied Techniques, "Two-dimensional color Doppler tissue imaging (CDTI) has so far been used, in general, to evaluate ventricular function. "This study examined if the left atrial appendage tissue velocity could reproducibly be measured with CDTI and if they have any predictive value for left atrial appendage (LAA) function and former thromboembolism," wrote N.K. Eryol and colleagues, Alparslan Mah Kyzylyrmak Cad. "Thirty-six...
