Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(9):1213-1219.   Published online September 15, 1994
Color Doppler echocardiography was performed to evaluate pulmonary venous flow pattern at 1st~2nd day of birth in 84 fullterm newborns (36: patent ductus arteriosus, 48: closed ductus arteriosus). Aortic and pulmonic diameter, velocity and integral were estimated. The purpose of this study ascertained that patent ductus arteriosus changed the pulmonary vein velocity and flow integral. The results were...
Evaluation of Pulmonary Venous, Mitral and Aortic Flow Pattern by Doppler Echocardiography in Neonates
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...
