title: Coronary blood flow velocity in normal infants and young adults assessed by transthoracic echocardiography.
abstract: The present study has demonstrated that it is possible to measure blood flow of the coronary artery in children using transthoracic 2-dimensional Doppler echocardiography. This is the first study on the relations between coronary flow velocity and age and heart rate in normal subjects.
