Figure 5 Tissue Doppler Imaging and Assessment of Regional Function
Apical 4-chamber view with tissue Doppler imaging showing regional analysis of the contraction patterns of the septal and lateral walls in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy. Regions of interest (ROI) are drawn at the mid portions of the septal and lateral walls, and the contraction velocities within each ROI in the vertical plane are graphically displayed over time.
