Summary
Tissue Doppler based velocity and deformation measurements allow the quantitative and thus objective assessment of myocardial function. So far, many techniques and parameters have been developed, most of which require an explanation for the clinical user. This article reviews relevant tissue Doppler parameters and gives examples of the current clinical usage of this technique.
Zusammenfassung
Gewebe-Doppler-basierte Geschwindigkeits- und Verformungsmessungen im Myokard erlauben eine quantitative und damit objektive Beurteilung der Myokardfunktion. Die Fülle der inzwischen verwendeten Techniken und Parameter bedarf für den Nutzer der Einordnung in den klinischen Kontext. Der folgende Artikel erläutert die gängigsten Parameter und zeigt beispielhaft derzeitige klinische Anwendungsgebiete der Gewebe-Doppler-Technik auf.
