title: Colour Doppler flow mapping in the diagnosis of traumatic ventricular septal defect.
abstract: The use of colour Doppler flow mapping allows noninvasive diagnosis and gives haemodynamic information on the severity of ventricular septal defects. We describe the case of a man with delayed presentation of a traumatic ventricular septal defect in whom colour Doppler flow mapping permitted conservative management after accurate noninvasive diagnosis.
