Inflammation is not one signal.
It is a biological conversation, and each marker lets us listen to a different voice.

By the way, this infographic is the perfect companion to my previous one on CRP, ESR and procalcitonin.

Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI): A quick clinical refresher

TDI uses PW Doppler to capture low-frequency, high-amplitude signals from myocardial tissue, allowing us to evaluate longitudinal LV shortening and lengthening with far greater precision than standard Doppler.

Spectral TDI:
- The S wave represents systolic motion toward the transducer (positive).
- The E′ and A′ waves reflect early and late diastolic motion away from the transducer (negative), capturing the biphasic pattern of LV lengthening.

Color TDI:
🔴Red indicates myocardial motion toward the probe during systole.
🔵 Blue indicates motion away from the probe during diastole.

TDI helps identify subtle systolic and diastolic abnormalities long before changes appear on conventional measurements such as ejection fraction.

Not All LVOT Obstruction Is the Same.

Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is not a single entity. Different pathologies produce similar pressure gradients, but their CW Doppler profiles reveal important clues.

⚫Valvular aortic stenosis produces a fixed obstruction at the valve level, resulting in a smooth, symmetric systolic velocity curve.

🟢A subaortic membrane causes a fixed subvalvular obstruction. The CW Doppler profile may look similar to valvular AS, but the systolic envelope often appears "rough" due to coarse fluttering of the aortic valve.

🔵Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy creates a dynamic obstruction within the LVOT. This produces a distinctly different Doppler pattern, with a late systolic peak and the classic dagger-shaped envelope.

Take-home message: high velocity alone is not enough. The shape of the CW Doppler signal, combined with 2D imaging and color flow, helps identify the exact level and mechanism of obstruction.
