Color Doppler-M is an echocardiographic technique which reports blood velocity along a single echocardiographic scan line at <1 mm intervals, updated every 4 to 8 ms. To investigate regional ventricular pressure gradients associated with diastolic relaxation, the authors have designed a computer...
