Shear Rate chart

The chart shows the trend of the time averaged positive Shear Rate during the examination. The chart is divided into three or two parts, according to the Studio modality. You have basal (1), ischemia (2) and vasodilation (3) in FMD; ischemia is missing in "Vasodilation".

In the chart, three cursors are present (two cursors in "Vasodilation" study mode): the first one (4) is places at the baseline value; the second (5) one is placed at the maximum value in vasodilation; the third one (6) is places at the the time value corresponding to the maximum value of the diameter in the Mean Diameter chart (this cursors is absent in "Vasodilation" study mode). Cardiovascular Suite places the cursors at the position automatically computed at the end of the analysis. You can manually reposition these values if you see that some outliers have affected the automatic analysis.

These values are shown in the Results panel.
