Doppler vs Spectral during echo
Date: Feb 24, 2021
Question:
This is the only documentation for Doppler during a stress echo:
Doppler Measurements & Calculations
MV Peak E Wave: 0.6 m/s
MV Peak A Wave: 0.44 m/s
MV Peak Gradient 1.46 mmHg
TR Velocity: 2.34 m/s
MV Deceleration Time: 220.8 msec
TR Gradient: 21.93 mmHg
Is this enough to indicate spectral and color flow velocity were done?
