Abstract
The response of the ventricular function to ischemia is monotonous and independent of the stress employed. Such a response can be separately described by two-dimensional echocardiography and by Doppler: pulsed wave — usually employed for the evaluation of transmitral flow; continuous wave — best suited for aortic flow assessment; and color-coded — ideal for the visualization of acute mitral insufficiency (Table 1).
