Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography in adult patients with congenital heart disease.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess both the feasibility and potential role of transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography for the evaluation of adult patients with congenital heart disease. BACKGROUND The unrestricted views with depth perception provided by three-dimensional echocardiography with dynamic volume-rendered display may enhance visualization of cardiac structures and dete...

Although congeni...
متن کاملTwo dimensional echocardiography in congenital heart disease.
Two dimensional echocardiography has enhanced the ability of the clinician to define accurately intracardiac anatomy and great vessel relations. By visualizing relations of the great arteries and determining ventricular situs in the parasternal short axis planes and by assessing the relation of the great arteries to ventricles atrioventricular (A-V) valves and the interventricular septum in the...
