Objective: Myocardial velocity gradient (MVG) is a recently introduced ultrasonic parameter
which describes the spatial distribution of intramural myocardial velocities and their changes …

BACKGROUND: Doppler tissue echocardiographic myocardial velocity gradient (MVG)
overcomes translational or tethered motion effects. Diagnostic applications rely on MVG …

Currently, echocardiography is the technique of choice in the noninvasive assessment of left
ventricular (LV) function. Unlike the assessment of LV systolic function, its role is limited in …

Although tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a promising technique for quantitative regional left
ventricular wall motion analysis, Doppler angle of incidence and translational motion of the …

OBJECTIVES.: This study was performed to assess a new indicator of regional left
ventricular contraction determined by a two-dimensional tissue Doppler imaging technique …

Background: A peak negative myocardial velocity gradient (MVG) across the left ventricular
wall is an important indicator of diastolic performance. The reproducibility of MVG …

Doppler myocardial imaging is a new cardiac ultrasound technique based on the principles
of colour Doppler imaging which can determine myocardial velocities by detecting the …

Objectives: To evaluate a new indicator of left ventricular global function: Myocardial velocity
gradient (MVG) M‐mode Doppler tissue imaging (DTI). Background: MVG is a new indicator …

Background: Preliminary experimental data have shown a nonuniform distribution of
myocardial velocities (MVs) across the myocardial wall in normal conditions. However, after …

Objectives. We sought to assess the clinical significance of peak negative myocardial
velocity gradient (MVG) in early diastole as a noninvasive indicator of left ventricular (LV) …
