33 Short Axis Long Axis

34 PW mode: VTI

35 Work Flow Manual VTI A. Drawing a trace along the envelope of the blood flow waveforms for one cycle. B. After clicking the last point of the drawing trace, the value of the cardiac parameters in PW mode will be shown up automatically. Auto VTI A. Choose the Auto trace function +, - or +/- in the Image adjustment, and then adjust the bar of auto trace to find the most clearly envelope trace of blood flow waveforms. B. Choose a cycle of the blood flow waveforms which you interested in. Click the start point and the end point of the single cycle duration. C. After clicking the end point of the single cycle duration, the value of the cardiac parameters in PW mode will be shown up automatically.

36 VTI: Velocity time integral Flow velocity varies during ejection in a pulsatile system, so the VTI measurement represents the average velocity-time integral during an area enclosed by baseline and Doppler spectrum. Peak velocity The maximum velocity of the chose cycle. Peak pressure: Peak pressure gradient Gradients are calculated from velocity information, and peak gradient obtained from the peak velocity using the Bernoulli equation as: Peak pressure gradient (ΔP max ) = 4 V max / (mmhg) **V(mm/s) Mean velocity The average value of the velocities during the chose cycle. V mean = σn i=1 VΤn ; n: the number of velocity values in chose cycle Mean pressure: Mean pressure gradient The mean gradient is calculated by averaging the instantaneous gradients over the ejection period. Mean pressure gradient = [σ n i=1 Acceleration Deceleration Parameters Definition ΔP i ]/n = [4 σn i=1 V i / ]/n (mmhg) **V(mm/s)

39 E/A ratio (I) Work flow A. Click 8~9 points on the mitral valve or tricuspid valve flow waveform according to the inflection points and the time duration definition in one cycle. B. Start the first point is from the start of E wave. C. After clicking the end point of the single cycle duration, the parameters of the mitral valve flow or tricuspid valve flow in PW mode will show up automatically. Acc: Acceleration rate of E wave of mitral inflow The acceleration rate is presented as the slope of early E wave. E: E wave The filling velocity during the weight of the collected blood in each atrium causes it to fall into the ventricles below when the atrioventricular valves open. DT: Deceleration time The time taken from the maximum E point to baseline.

40 A: A wave The speed of the blood filling the ventricle in the second step occurs in which the atria contract to squeeze out that last bit. E/A: EA ratio The E/A ratio is the ratio of the early (E) to late (A) ventricular filling velocities. IVCT: Isovolumic contraction time During the time period between the closure of the atrioventricular valves and the opening of the aortic and pulmonic valves ET: Ejection time The time of ejection of blood from the left ventricle beginning with aortic valve opening and ending with aortic valve closure. IVRT: Isovolumic relaxation time IVRT is an interval in the cardiac cycle from the closure of the aortic valve to onset of filling by opening of the atrioventricular valve. MPI: Myocardial Performance Index (Tei index) MPI = IVCT+IVRT ET E/A ratio (II)

42 PW mode: SD RI PI

43 Work Flow (I) Step 1 : Click tool box button, then click measurement tools Step 2 : Click in S/D ratio button In the cardiac package panel Step 3 : Choose the Auto Trace function Max +/- for the image adjustment, and then adjust the bar of auto trace to find the most clearly envelope trace of blood flow waveforms

45 Parameters Definitions (I)

46 Parameters Definitions (II)

47 Parameters Definitions (III) Resistive Index (RI): The arterial resistivity index, developed by Leandre Pourcelot, is a measure of pulsatile blood flow that reflects the resistance to blood flow caused by microvascular bed distal to the site of measurement. Pulsability index (PI): Blood velocities in arteries are higher during systole than during diastole. This value decreases with distance from the heart. It is also to observe the resistance of blood vessels. A reversal of diastolic flow would be indicate severe abnormal pattern. S/D ratio: The umbilical artery blood flow systolic to end-diastolic ratio is used as a measure of fetal compromise. The ratio decreases towards term, from about 3.5 at 24 weeks to about 2.2 at term. As the diastolic flow becomes diminished in fetal compromise, the systolic/diastolic ratio will rise. All indices theoretically independent of the angle of insonation

48 Blood Flow

49 Volume of Blood Flow Work flow A. Click vessel diameter box to start measurement of internal vessel diameter in B mode. B. Measure VTI of the same vessel in PW spectrum. VTI can be completed by using either manual/auto-trace VTI in cardiac package or directly clicking VTI box to start manual VTI. C. After completing measurement of vessel diameter and VTI, the volume of blood flow will be calculated and show up in the box automatically. Volume(μl) = VTI π D 2 2 ; D: vessel diameter
