Hye Soon Kim, Young Mi Hong, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(5):596-605.   Published online May 15, 1994
Pulmonary vein velocities have recently been estimated in conjunction with mitral flow velocities to increase our understanding of ventricular filling. The advent of transesophageal echocardiography with pulsed doppler imaging capability has provided a method by which both the mitral valve and pulmonary vein velocities can be easily recorded because of the posterior approach providing unimpeded interrogation of cardiac structures. The purpose...
