Abstract:
Velocity vector imaging (VVI) can quantitatively detect biomechanical characteristics of myocardium and vascular wall based on the principle of speckle tracking , getting rid of the angular dependence of tissue Doppler ima‐ging (TDI) .It can distinguish myocardial segment movements ,observe cardiac twisting motion and discover early e‐lastic changes of vascular wall and evaluate stability of atherosclerotic plaques ,which possesses important signifi‐cance for differential diagnosis of early heart and vascular diseases .The present article made a review on application progress of VVI in cardiovascular diseases .
