DIAGNOSTICS (2002)
V. V. Shchetinin and N. F. Beresten This monograph presents a new trend in ultrasonic diagnosis: cardiocompatible
dopplerography. The problem of evaluation of blood flow in the vessels is for the first
time regarded in correlation with the variant of central hemodynamics. Venous portocaval
circulation and arterial flow to the liver are regarded from this viewpoint. New
technologies of dopplerosonography helped better evaluate the variants of collateral
circulation in heart failure and diffuse involvement of the liver with portal
hypertension. New diagnostic dopplerosonography indexes are suggested as prognostic
predictors of liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and heart failure. Cardiocompatible
dopplerosonography is a valuable method for dynamic assessment of the status of
transplanted liver and other organs.
