Figure 5 Two-dimensional color and pulsed tissue Doppler axial velocities of the myocardium recorded from the apical four-chamber view. Systolic (Sm), early diastolic (Em) and atrial contraction (Am) velocities are shown in the pulsed Doppler tracing. The two-dimensional image was obtained during systole.
