Fig. 2From: Comparative assessment of coronary physiology using transthoracic pulsed-wave Doppler and myocardial contrast echocardiography in ratsRepresentative B-mode and colour Doppler images acquired in a parasternal long axis (PLAX). a B-mode PLAX of the left ventricle. These images were used for volumetric and perfusion measurements. AA Ascending aorta, LA Left atrium, LV Left ventricle, LVASW Left ventricular anteroseptal wall, LVILW Left ventricular inferolateral wall, *aortic valve, # mitral valve. b Exemplary colour Doppler image of the proximal left coronary artery, which was assessed by pulsed-wave Doppler in the following step. *Proximal left coronary arteryBack to article page
