Summary:Doppler echocardiography is a logical companion to ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis and quantification of valvular heart disease. Accurate noninvasive identification and quantification of valvular heart disease is now possible if both techniques are utilized together. The continued application of our knowledge of hemodynamics should extend our current uses of Doppler echocardiography to allow more intelligent management of patients with known or suspected valvular heart disease.
