How to Perform Tissue Doppler Measurements

  1. Obtain a mid-esophageal 4-chamber view
  2. Activate the Tissue Doppler Imaging function of the TEE machine
  3. Place sample volume at the level of the lateral mitral annulus
  4. Use pulse-wave Doppler
  5. Using the preset measurements available under ‘Analysis’ measure:
    1. Peak E’ velocity
    2. Peak A’ velocity
