Color Doppler Echocardiography

Color Doppler echocardiography visualizes blood flow within the heart.

Color Doppler Echocardiography

Color Doppler echocardiography is an advanced ultrasound technique that uses color coding to visualize blood flow within the heart. By highlighting the direction and speed of blood flow, it provides detailed images of heart structures and their function, helping to diagnose conditions like valve disorders and congenital defects.

During the procedure, a transducer is placed on the chest to emit sound waves that reflect off heart structures and moving blood. The reflected waves are translated into color-coded images, allowing doctors to assess issues such as valve regurgitation and abnormal blood flow patterns, making it a crucial tool for accurate cardiac evaluation and management.

Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how Color Doppler Echocardiography typically works:

Color Doppler echocardiography is commonly used across various medical specialties

Coronary angiography is primarily used in the diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis). This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or even heart attack.
