The best position to study transmitral diastolic flow by Color Doppler is the Apical 4 chamber view. In this case, the flow is more parallel to the ultrasonic beam.

Other positions from which study can be done:

• Apical 2 chambered view.
• Left parasternal approach, the long axis of the heart.
• Subcostal four-chamber view.

 

Normal transmitral flow occurs only in the diastole phase, is directed towards the transducer and encoded in red color.
