Color Doppler is undoubtedly in the last years main breakthrough in the non invasive definition of regurgitant flows. The detection and quantification of the regurgitant streams, the study of their spatial distribution, the appraisal of their relationships, to anatomical structures, meant a new sight of the physiopathology of valvular insufficiencies. Although this method has an immediate quantitative and qualitative clinical diagnostic interest, its limitations and pitfalls need further investigation. This improvement of technical quality of the equipment and the lowering of its price will surely extend its application beyond its actual limits making color Doppler a routine diagnostic tool in the evaluation of the cardiac patient.
彩色多普勒无疑是近年来反流性血流无创定义方面的主要突破。反流束的检测与定量、其空间分布的研究、与解剖结构关系的评估，意味着对瓣膜关闭不全病理生理学有了新的认识。尽管该方法具有直接的临床定量和定性诊断价值，但其局限性和缺陷仍需进一步研究。设备技术质量的提高及其价格的降低必将使其应用超出目前的限制，使彩色多普勒成为评估心脏病患者的常规诊断工具。
