  • Title: [Comparative assessment of hemodynamic parameters in ventricular septal defect, obtained by Doppler echocardiography and catheterization of cardiac cavities].
    Author: Konstantinova VM, Ivanitskií AV, Kosenko AI, Gorbachevskií SV.
    Journal: Vestn Rentgenol Radiol; 2000; (5):4-9. PubMed ID: 11247175.
    Abstract:
    The study was undertaken to assess hemodynamic parameters by Doppler echocardiography in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary hypertension. Seventy-two patients aged 5 months to 9 years (mean 2.5 years) who had isolated VSD were examined. The authors conclude that it is possible and necessary to assess hemodynamics in the lesser circulation by using Doppler echocardiography. The method permits monitoring the time course of changes in the right heart, which makes it possible to follow the natural history of disease without applying invasive studies.
