===Doppler echocardiogram===
Using Doppler echocardiogram on the mitral valve would reveal that the velocity patter of the blood going into the left ventricle at diastole resembles the M-shaped pattern seen in the M-mode of the same structure. Blood flow is rapid at the early phases of filling, very low during the conduit phase of the mid-diastole, and accelerates at the atrial contraction.
