Value of clinical applications of differential pressure and relative pressure imaging in the left ventricle

Figure 1 Left ventricular blood vector flow mapping in a patient with normal cardiac function. The vector flow mapping displays laminar and turbulent flow in the cardiovascular system without contrast, clearly showing the temporal phase, location, size, number, direction of rotation, and intensity of vortices. Flow and circulation maps are shown above each image, and ventricular wall shear stress and vector maps are shown below each image. A: Diastolic phase in healthy individuals with normal cardiac function; B: Systolic phase in healthy individuals with normal cardiac function.
