We report the usefulness of Doppler color echocardiography in diagnosis and follow-up in a case of thrombosis of a prosthetic mitral valve. The patient received thrombolytic therapy for this disorder and a favorable clinical outcome was observed. Integrated echocardiographic techniques (M-Mode, cross-sectional, continuous-wave, pulsed-Doppler and color Doppler) could increase the amount of diagnostic information in these situations.

Aim: The American Heart Association (AHA) proposed Life's Essential 8 score (LE8) in 2022 as a new metric for cardiovascular health (CVH). This study investigated the association between the LE8 score and the development of carotid artery plaque.
Methods: Data were drawn from the Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities Community (APAC) cohort study.

The main etiology of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is uncertain and vascular problems have been proposed as one of the underlying factors in this disease. Patients with SSNHL and people without any hearing or ear disorders as the control group were included in the study (aged 18-65 years). Clinical examination, pure tone audiometry, and color doppler ultrasound of the neck vessels were performed for all patients and control subjects, on both sides, to check blood flow, peak systolic velocity (PSV), vascular diameter, and intima-media thickness (IMT) in the common carotid (CCA), vertebral (VA), and internal carotid arteries (ICA).

Purpose: This study assessed the reproducibility and clinical value of the vascular index (VI), derived from superb microvascular imaging (SMI) using Doppler ultrasonography, for evaluating renal function in transplanted kidneys.
Methods: This retrospective study included 63 renal transplant patients who underwent grayscale and Doppler ultrasonography with SMI from January 2022 to February 2023. The VI of the transplanted kidneys was measured using three methods (VIbox, VIF1, VIF2).
