Cardiac amyloidosis

…65 years presenting with heart failure and increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness [3, 5]. Unexplained LV hypertrophy (LVH) or heart failure with preserved ejection…

Color Doppler

…by the Nyquist limit (as compared with standard pulsed wave Doppler), which is explained by the fact that the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is reduced…

Continuous Wave Doppler (CW Doppler)

…the former. This allows much higher velocitites to be measured. Continuous wave Doppler is therefore not limited by pulse repetition frequency (PRF). Figure 1. The…

ApoB and Non-HDL Cholesterol in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

…disease (ASCVD). Atherosclerosis develops through the progressive deposition and retention of LDL C and other apoB containing lipoproteins within the arterial wall. This initiates inflammatory…
