Left atrial appendage: real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic image.
This fact becomes especially relevant when anatomical observation translates into prognostic clinical implications, such as in the identification of images of thrombi in the left atrium or left atrial appendage. In most clinical situations, the investigation of intra-atrial images of thrombi with the use of two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography does not allow anatomical information rel...
متن کاملLeft ventricular assessment using real time three dimensional echocardiography.
T he ability to accurately assess left ventricular function non-invasively is essential for patient management since it has been known for years that left ventricular ejection fraction serves as an important predictor of long term survival. Although two dimensional (2D) echocardiography is routinely used in clinical practice to obtain information on left ventricular dimension, wall thickness, a...
متن کاملReal-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Complex anatomy of intra-cardiac structures requires spatial orientation of image in three dimensions for better understanding and enhanced image interpretation. We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of the emerging 'real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography' technique for comprehensive assessment of cardiac anatomy, physiology, pathomorphology and pathophysiolog...
متن کاملUnknown Left Atrial Appendage Mass! Real-time Three-dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography Helps in Identification
Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) is the most contractile part of Left atrium. It is also the most frequent place for thrombus formation that may lead to disastrous consequences. Complete trasoesophageal echocardiography examination always includes assessing LAA but sometimes unusually placed pectinate muscle, which is a normal structure may give baffling shadow that can only be interpreted correctly...
متن کاملThree-dimensional echocardiography of left atrial appendage thrombus.
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in evaluating the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a potential cardiac source of embolus in patients with stroke. We describe two such patients in whom a TEE and subsequently a three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the LAA were performed. These case reports show that 3-D echocardiography provides better...
