Abstract

Echocardiography is an important tool in evaluating cardiovascular hemodynamics. There are multiple benefits for utilizing echo for hemodynamics assessment, which include the noninvasive nature of the examination with no known risks, the portable nature of the examinationcan be performed at bedside and repeated as needed, and the complementary information that may be obtained and can help in the comprehensive assessment of the hemodynamic status (e.g., chamber size and function, presence of valve disease, and more). Important principles underlying hemodynamic assessment by echocardiography include the Doppler Principle, Bernoulli Principle, and understanding normal intracardiac pressures, flows, and resistance. The Doppler Principle allows the calculation of blood flow velocity by measuring the Doppler shift of a returning signal that encountered a moving target. Blood flow velocity can in turn be used to calculate intracardiac pressure gradients. Understanding relationships between the various intracardiac pressures can help reach conclusions regarding the hemodynamic status.

Introduction

Echocardiography is an important tool in evaluating cardiovascular hemodynamics.

  • Benefits of utilizing echo for hemodynamics assessment include:
    • Noninvasive nature of the examination; no known risks.

    • Examination can be done at bedside; no need to transfer unstable patient.

    • Ability to repeat the examination if conditions change.

    • Available complementary information to help assess hemodynamic status (e.g., chamber size and function, presence of valve disease, etc.).

  • Important principles underlying hemodynamic assessment by echocardiography include:

  • Doppler Principle

  • Bernoulli Principle

  • Understanding normal intracardiac pressures, flows, and resistance

1.1 Doppler Principle
  • Doppler ultrasound (US) is based on scatter interaction between the US wave and red blood cells (Fig. ).

  • Since blood cells are a moving target, the returning US signal has a different frequency than the emitted signal.

  • The change in frequency (termed the Doppler shift ) is determined by the Doppler equation:

    = x Cos f0emitted frequency Vspeed of the target Cpropagation velocity of - photo 3 x Cos.

    f0emitted frequency, Vspeed of the target, Cpropagation velocity of sound in soft tissue, angle Doppler angle of incidence
    • The Doppler angle of incidence is the angle between the US beam and the direction of flow of the target (i.e., blood flow).

    • In clinical echocardiography, the US beam is aligned as parallel as possible to the measured flow (angle as close to 00 as possible Cos as close to 1 as possible).

    • Attempting to measure and correct for angle of incidence may introduce more error than accuracy.

  • The Doppler shift () is measured by the US machine.

  • Rearranging the Doppler equation to solve for V:

    V = Assuming Cos 1 V By knowing the emitted frequency propagation - photo 4 .

  • Assuming Cos = 1.

    V = By knowing the emitted frequency propagation velocity of sound in soft - photo 5 .

  • By knowing the emitted frequency, propagation velocity of sound in soft tissue, and the measured Doppler shift, blood flow velocity can be calculated.

Fig 11 The Doppler effect When moving blood cells interact with ultrasound - photo 6
Fig. 1.1

The Doppler effect . When moving blood cells interact with ultrasound, the returning wave has a different frequency (f1) than the emitted wave (f0). The change in frequency is the Doppler Shift (f), which can be measured by the US machine. The relationship between the Doppler shift and the blood flow velocity is determined by the Doppler equation

1.2 Bernoulli Principle
The Bernoulli principle states the following:
  • Within a horizontal, laminar (streamline) flow, regions with higher fluid speed have lower pressure, and regions with lower fluid speed have higher pressure.
