'''Numerical manipulation''' of Doppler parameters obtain during routine [[Echocardiography]] has been extensively utilized to non-invasively estimate intra-cardiac pressures, in many cases removing the need for invasive cardiac catheterization.<ref>{{cite journal |pmid=3366997 | volume=11 | issue=6 | title=Prediction of the severity of aortic stenosis by Doppler aortic valve area determination: prospective Doppler-catheterization correlation in 100 patients | year=1988 | journal=J.

[[Echocardiography]] uses ultrasound to create real-time anatomic images of the [[heart]] and its structures. [[Doppler echocardiography]] utilizes the Doppler principle to estimate intracardiac velocities. Via the modified [[Bernoulli's principle|Bernoulli equation]], velocity is routinely converted to pressure gradient for use in clinical cardiology decision making.▼

A broad discipline of mathematical modeling of intracardiac velocity parameters such as [[ePLAR]] for pulmonary circulation and aortic Doppler for [[aortic stenosis]] have been investigated. [[Diastolic heart failure|Diasatolic dysfunction]] algorithms use complex combinations of these numeric models to estimate intracardiac filling pressures.<ref>Non-Invasive Assessment of the Ventricular Relaxation Time Constant (τ) in Humans by Doppler Echocardiography.
