Core Tip
Core Tip: Cardiac catheterization is currently the gold standard for assessing ventricular diastolic function, but it is invasive. There has been a need for a non-invasive alternative to cardiac catheterization. In the course of cardiac research, the phenomenon of local intraventricular pressure differences has been explored, and researchers have continued to develop imaging techniques. Particular advancements have been made in magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound techniques. Relative pressure imaging has been developed based on ultrasound blood flow vector imaging, is able to measure intraventricular pressure differences visually and non-invasively, and has significant advantages over magnetic resonance imaging and color M-mode Doppler ultrasound.
