(April 14, 2021) LIVE Online Demonstration: Doppler Flow Velocity System (DFVS)
View our hands-on demonstration of the Doppler Flow Velocity System, a non-invasive, real-time pulsed Doppler measurement device for studying cardiovascular function in a variety of small animal models, such as mice and rats.
During this live demonstration we demonstrated and explained:
- Measurement for Cardiac systolic and diastolic function.
- Serial measurements in response to interventions
- Severity of transverse aortic constriction (TAC)
- Coronary flow distribution
- Hyperemic velocity responses
- Pulse Wave Velocity from two aortic locations simultaneously
