An echocardiogram is a diagnostic procedure that uses ultrasound to examine the heart. The echocardiogram allows the cardiologist(or radiologist) to see the heart as it beats, determine if the valves are working properly, determine the size of the chambers and blood vessels, and measure the thickness of the heart walls. 1, record 2, English, - echocardiography%20examination

echocardiogram: In medical terminology, some words ending in the suffix "-gram" originally referred to the image or record produced by a diagnostic procedure. However, in everyday clinical usage, these terms are often extended to mean the procedure itself.

The principal advantage of pulsed Doppler is range resolution, or the ability to sample blood flow in a small, specific area whose location and depth can be varied. A disadvantage of pulsed Doppler, however, is that there are limits to the maximum frequency shifts that can be unambiguously displayed at any given depth. To avoid range ambiguity, the ultrasound pulse must travel down to the selected depth and back before the next pulse can enter the heart. Therefore, the PRF [pulse repetition frequency] or sampling rate is limited at each depth. 4, record 5, English, - pulsed%20Doppler%20ultrasonography

A transesophageal echocardiogram(TEE) is a special type of echocardiogram. It is usually done when your doctor wants to look more closely at your heart to see if it could be producing blood clots. Like an echocardiogram, the TEE uses high-frequency sound waves(ultrasound) to examine the structures of the heart. A transducer(a unit that directs the sound waves) is placed in the esophagus(the pipe that connects the mouth to the stomach). The esophagus is close to the heart, so images from a TEE can give very clear pictures of the heart and its structures. 2, record 7, English, - transesophageal%20echocardiography

Une échocardiographie transœsophagienne (ETO) est un type particulier d’échocardiogramme. Ce test est habituellement effectué lorsque le médecin veut examiner de plus près le cœur afin de savoir s’il produit des caillots sanguins. Comme l’échocardiogramme, l'ETO utilise des ondes sonores à haute fréquence (ultrasons) afin d’examiner les structures du cœur. Un transducteur (un appareil qui dirige les ondes sonores) est placé dans l’œsophage (un organe tubulaire qui relie la bouche à l’estomac). L’œsophage se trouve tout près du cœur, par conséquent, l'ETO produit des images très claires du cœur et de ses structures. 3, record 7, French, - %C3%A9chocardiographie%20trans%26oelig%3Bsophagienne

Semblable à l'échocardiogramme, l'échographie Doppler est un examen au cours duquel des ondes sonores, émises à très haute fréquence, rebondissent sur votre cœur et vos vaisseaux sanguins. Les ondes, qui sont alors réfléchies tel un écho, sont recueillies et transformées en images qui reflètent la circulation sanguine à travers le cœur et les vaisseaux sanguins. L’échographie Doppler permet donc aux médecins d’examiner, de façon distincte, les conditions d’écoulement et d’irrigation du cœur et des vaisseaux sanguins. Elle leur permet également d’observer et de mesurer les éventuelles obstructions des artères, de même que le degré de rétrécissement ou d’écoulement des valvules cardiaques. Ce test peut être conseillé aux personnes atteintes d’athérosclérose ou d’insuffisance coronarienne. On y a recours pour évaluer le flux sanguin dans les artères coronariennes (vaisseaux sanguins qui alimentent le cœur), l’artère carotide (principale artère du cou), les principales artères des bras et des jambes, ou même à l’intérieur du cœur en soi (échocardiogramme). 10, record 8, French, - %C3%A9chographie%20Doppler

Dans les dictionnaires généraux de langue française, on recommande de mettre la majuscule au terme «Doppler» lorsque celui-ci agit à titre de déterminant. En revanche, le terme «doppler» devrait commencer avec une lettre minuscule lorsque ce terme se trouve à la tête d'un syntagme ou qu'on le trouve sous la forme d'un nom simple. En pratique, cette règle n'est pas suivie et de nombreuses sources spécialisées et fiables utilisent la majuscule ou la minuscule que le terme soit un déterminant, un nom simple ou qu'il soit à la tête d'un syntagme. 11, record 8, French, - %C3%A9chographie%20Doppler

Fetal heart detectors are devices that use ultrasonic waves to provide audible and/or visual information. They consist of an ultrasound-frequency electrical generator and appropriate ultrasound transducers housed in a probe that is placed on the maternal abdomen. Ultrasonic heartbeat detectors amplify the audible frequency shift signal of the returned ultrasonic waves and deliver it to speakers or headphones; the heart rate is determined either by measuring the timing of the peaks in the Doppler signal or, more accurately, by using automated autocorrelation procedures. 1, record 9, English, - ultrasonic%20fetal%20heart%20detector
