The potential confounding factors in echocardiographic right heart assessment like right heart dimensions, the presence of atrial fibrillation or severe tricuspid regurgitation were documented, but not corrected in any direction. In these cases the measurements were performed like in all other patients.

DE mPAP (B) was better correlated with RHC than sPAP (A). Dotted lines mark virtual best correlation of 1 and solid lines mark the real correlation. r indicates the correlation coefficient, sPAP indicates systolic pulmonary artery pressure.
In 43 of 50 patients with the suspicion of PH the diagnosis of PH could be confirmed. Of these patients almost one third had mild, one third moderate and one third severe PH. Hence, echocardiographic mPAP may be suitable in a wide range of PH severity. Especially the detection of PH in mildly symptomatic or mildly elevated mPAP is crucial. Echocardiographic mPAP may be a helpful screening tool in these patients.
Pulsed wave Doppler and color flow Doppler operate on this presumption; when a location of interest is designated, the ultrasound machine will only record returning echoes during an interval that corresponds to the time necessary for wave egress and return along a linear path. If Doppler shifts occur at a frequency exceeding the maximum pulse interval (1/pulse repetition frequency) detected phase shifts will be calculated based on incorrect assumptions.
A specific use for aliasing in echocardiography is the calculation of the effective regurgitation orifice area in the assessment of valvular regurgitation, most commonly involving the mitral valve. With color Doppler interrogation of a mitral regurgitant jet, a hemispheric flow convergence forms surface area tapering to form the vena contracta before entering the left atrium. The hemispheric area (PISA) is calculated and the product of PISA and aliasing velocity yields regurgitant flow. The quotient with calculated MR regurgitant VTI yields EROA.

To add glitchy, metallic echoes to a drum loop, duplicate your drum track and add Shifter after the Drum Rack. In Pitch mode, try adjusting or automating the Coarse knob and enable the Delay button. Higher pitch shifts will create a metallic and crisp echoed delay. Lower pitch shifts will create a drawn-out delay effect. You can lower the volume of the pitch-shifted track so that it sits in the background, adding some movement to the main drum track.
Spectral Time combines time freezing and spectral delay effects in a single inspiring device. You can resynthesize your sounds by applying various spectral filters, delays and frequency-shifting techniques to incoming material, creating highly varied and unique copies. The freeze and delay effects can be used together or independently, allowing for a wide range of possibilities, such as sustaining any sound infinitely, or combining delays with time-synced fade transitions. You can easily transform sounds by smearing frequencies over time, or add metallic echoes and space to any sound source.
This study was done to investigate the potential additional role of virtual reality, using three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic holograms, in the postoperative assessment of tricuspid valve function after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD).
12 data sets from intraoperative epicardial echocardiographic studies in 5 operations (patient age at operation 3 weeks to 4 years and bodyweight at operation 3.8 to 17.2 kg) after surgical closure of VSD were included in the study. The data sets were analysed as two-dimensional (2D) images on the screen of the ultrasound system as well as holograms in an I-space virtual reality (VR) system. The 2D images were assessed for tricuspid valve function. In the I-Space, a 6 degrees-of-freedom controller was used to create the necessary projectory positions and cutting planes in the hologram. The holograms were used for additional assessment of tricuspid valve leaflet mobility.
All data sets could be used for 2D as well as holographic analysis. In all data sets the area of interest could be identified. The 2D analysis showed no tricuspid valve stenosis or regurgitation. Leaflet mobility was considered normal. In the virtual reality of the I-Space, all data sets allowed to assess the tricuspid leaflet level in a single holographic representation. In 3 holograms the septal leaflet showed restricted mobility that was not appreciated in the 2D echocardiogram. In 4 data sets the posterior leaflet and the tricuspid papillary apparatus were not completely included.
This report shows that dynamic holographic imaging of intraoperative postoperative echocardiographic data regarding tricuspid valve function after VSD closure is feasible. Holographic analysis allows for additional tricuspid valve leaflet mobility analysis. The large size of the probe, in relation to small size of the patient, may preclude a complete data set. At the moment the requirement of an I-Space VR system limits the applicability in virtual reality 3D echocardiography in clinical practice.
12 data sets from intraoperative epicardial echocardiographic studies in 5 operations (patient age at operation 3, 6, 7 weeks, 9 months and 4 years and bodyweight at operation 3.8, 3.9, 4.5, 5.2 and 17.2 kg.) were included in the study. Epicardial echo was indicated in these patients on clinical grounds to obtain additional 2D imaging on top of the pre-operative echo assessment. During the epicardial echocardiography, the 3D data sets were obtained as well.
All operations concerned closure of VSD, in 1/5 as isolated defect, in 3/5 in the setting of correction of tetralogy of Fallot, in 1/5 in combination with a double-chambered right ventricle. In none of the operations the technique of temporary tricuspid detachment was used. In 3 of the operations sutures of the VSD patch were anchored in the base of the tricuspid valve annulus. The postcorrection epicardial echocardiography was performed as previously described [14].
Assessment of the tricuspid valve leaflet motion could well be accomplished from a right atrial view. In 3 data sets (in 3 different patients) a restriction of the mobility of the septal leaflet was noted, that was not appreciated in the 2D analyses. In all these 3 patients the VSD patch was anchored in the base of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. No abnormalities in anterior leaflet motion were noted. In the limited nearfield of the epicardial echocardiography only 8 posterior leaflets could be assessed, their mobility was considered normal. The holograms confirmed that the papillary apparatus in these 4 data sets was incompletely acquired.
A virtual reality approach is presented to analyse the results of surgery for congenital VSD. The 3D echocardiographic data sets acquired epicardially and generated by a commercially available echo system were used to construct a dynamic hologram inside an I-Space. All the datasets could be adequately analyzed in the I-Space, in which a single 3D dataset is sufficient to create every view of interest.
However, because the area of interest is in the nearfield of the echoprobe, a complete data set may be precluded, especially because of the large size of the probe that was available at the time of the study in relation to the small size of the patients and the limited exposure of the heart in them. Although no tricuspid valve stenosis or regurgitation was found in our series by 2D analysis of the data sets, in 3 of them a restricted mobility of the septal leaflet was found by holographic analysis. This suggests that holographic analysis may provide additional data beyond conventional analysis. In general, differences in interpretation between 2D and 3D echo can well be explained [17]. In 2D echocardiography, tricuspid valve analysis only allows analysis of two leaflets per image plane. Usually these are the anterior and septal leaflets, or the anterior and posterior leaflets. Hardly ever the posterior and septal leaflets can be visualized in one image plane and never all three leaflets. In contrast, 3D echocardiography allows all three leaflets to be seen in one view.
The virtual reality analysis can be done by the anatomy-expert, for instance the cardiothoracic surgeon performing the operation, and depends to a lesser extent on the echocardiography-expert, for instance the cardiologist making the diagnosis.
With the I-Space technology the complex postoperative cardiac anatomy of the closed congenital VSD, in relation to tricuspid valve function, can be appropriately visualised in virtual reality. Unfortunately, at present the colour-Doppler data cannot yet be transferred to the I-Space, as the data is only available in a proprietary format.
For the clinical practice, virtual reality 3D echocardiography should be implemented on smaller systems, like desktop displays or single screen projection systems, to allow bedside use or application in the operating theatre or conference room.
