Three-dimensional echocardiography
Keyword(s):
Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) certainly represents one of the major innovations of the last decades. Nowadays, 3DE has achieved a well-established role in many fields of cardiovascular diseases. This chapter discusses the contribution of 3DE towards a more precise quantitative assessment of cardiac chambers, in refining the diagnosis of structural heart diseases, and in guiding catheter-based structural heart disease procedures. The last section discusses the evolving role of a novel imaging system that specifically fuses fluoroscopy and two/three-dimensional echocardiography on one screen and represents a new exciting approach to image guidance for structural heart disease interventions.
