Spectral Doppler tracings provide important hemodynamic insights. This book is dedicated to interpretation of spectral Doppler recordings, similar to EKG books focused on EKG interpretation. Examples of some spectral Doppler patterns which may not be widely known:

Notched aortic regurgitation
Interrupted aortic regurgitation
Phantom systole
Double peak LVOT signal
Notched tricuspid regurgitation
Giant L wave
Intermittent systolic flow reversal in hepatic veins
Merged tricuspid regurgitation
