Coronary blood flow velocity in normal infants and young adults assessed by transthoracic echocardiography.
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.
