Dr. Anilkumar Reddy of the Baylor College of Medicine presents data from his research outlining the importance of blood flow velocity measurement and shows examples of translational data. He provides an overview of Doppler flow velocity measurement technology and compares data obtained from complimentary devices such as 3D echo ultrasound and transit-time flow systems. Several models are presented showing how many selected measurements scale up in translational research from mice to mammals. During this presentation the audience learned how Flow Velocity measurements can reliably assess the following parameters in rodents: Systolic and diastolic cardiac function Myocardial perfusion & coronary reserve Pressure overload Aortic stiffness Peripheral perfusion
