Current Clinical Applications of Doppler: A Local Perspective on a Developing Field

  • Chapter
Cardiac Doppler Diagnosis

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 29))

Abstract

As I began my Doppler activities in the early 1970s, I was cautioned not to get too heavily involved, as Doppler was after all, just a “fancy and expensive stethoscope”. It would however be considered a good activity for me to pursue until something good came along. The number of speakers, the number of countries represented, and the diverse applications that are present in this symposium indicate that indeed many good projects have come along, all of them Doppler based.
