RECENT ADVANCES in ultrasound instrumentation have yielded noninvasive techniques combining highresolution two-dimensional echocardiographic imaging with quantitative pulsed or continuous-wave Doppler techniques. The combination has added to the descriptive capabilities of two-dimensional echocardiography a variety of new clinical ultrasound applications related to defining blood flow patterns in the heart. Examples of qualitative applications of Doppler might be detection of mixed valvular insufficiency, such as tricuspid regurgitation in a patient with predominant mitral valve disease, or detection of a "silent" ductus arteriosus in a critially ill premature infant. Among the quantitative applications of Doppler techniques that have assumed substantial importance in the evaluation of valvular heart disease are methods using the maximal velocity of flow across a stenotic valve to estimate transvalvular gradients.' 2 Difficulties in the clinical application of the velocity-gradient method rest in ensuring that the highest velocity area of the jet has been interrogated in a direction parallel to flow. Controversy still exists as to whether simultaneous imaging should be used to achieve the spatial orientation necessary for determining the angle of interrogation relative to flow or whether nonimaging methods should be used to orient the direction of Doppler interrogation based exclusively on the audio signal, assuming the cleanest sounds and highest recorded velocity correspond to the direction of flow. Other methods have also been described that attempt to quantitate valvular insufficiency by moving a single pulsed Doppler sample volume around within the cavity receiving the regurgitant flow to describe the spatial
