Measurement of interventricular mechanical (IMD) delay by PW Doppler: A) PW Doppler in aortic outflow tract: Measurement from onset of QRS to the onset of PW curve in the aortic outflow tract. This time is also called the aortic pre-ejection time and is a marker for intra(left)ventricular asynchrony. B) PW Doppler in pulmonary outflow tract: Measurement from onset of QRS to the onset of PW curve in the pulmonary outflow tract. The IMD is the difference between the time of a) and b).
