To the Editor:I would like to congratulate Ishii et al1 for a very interesting study in the February 6, 2001, issue of Circulation on the use of 3D reconstruction of the color Doppler–imaged flow convergence region in ventricular septal defects. Their study, however, fails to mention 2 significant limitations of the flow convergence method.First, color Doppler isovelocity contours are distortions of the true isovelocity …
