    Figure 2.

    Color-flow mapping Doppler images of transthoracic echocardiography show diastolic intra-atrial jet through the atrial septal defect. Flow toward the transducer is red, flow away from the transducer is blue, and higher velocities are shown in lighter shades. Turbulent flow is indicated by green. (A color image is available online at https://doi.org/10.31486/toj.19.0119.) LA, left atrium; RA, right atrium.
