| Popis: | In 1968, while cardiologists were focused on cardiac structures imaged by ultrasound, Daniel Kalmanson in Paris, France, devised a new ultrasonic modality, directional continuous-wave Doppler, enabling him to record instantaneous cardiovascular blood flow velocities with recognition of their direction (relative to the transducer) in vessels. An innovative presentation of Doppler data also made velocity traces physiologically understandable. Following the noninvasive study of the arterial and venous beds, flow velocity in the right (1969) and left (1970) cardiac chambers was studied by means of a directional Doppler catheter. The curtain was then raised for the renewal of our pathophysiologic understanding of cardiac dynamics and the adoption of a new methodology. Technological evolution paved the way for clever researchers to pioneer important advances, diversifying the technique. Guided by the early principles, which are still valid in 2018, directional Doppler finally gained acceptance from the entire scientific community. |
