Abstract
Measurement of instantaneous blood flow velocity within the heart and great vessels is essential for calculating the mechanical energy losses resulting from heart valve dysfunction and transport of blood through the proximal arterial tree. Direct measurement of local instantaneous blood velocity within the arterial circulation and heart requires invasive instrumentation and is not convenient for the study of blood flow patterns in athletes during exercise, nor for routine use in the study of patients with heart disease.
