3D Echocardiography in Valvular Heart Disease

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is a valuable tool for evaluating the structure and function of the heart valves, and this book and DVD provide an educational resource for practitioners in this field. It emphasizes the correlation with surgical findings, compares 2D and 3D echocardiography, and discusses the planning and monitoring of valvular interventions.

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has emerged as a widely accepted modality for assessing the heart, particularly with the capability of performing 3D transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography. This technique holds immense significance for cardiologists, as it enables comprehensive evaluation of the structure and function of the heart valves. The Editors have already conducted the first two courses globally dedicated to the utilization of 3D TEE, and this book is derived from the materials prepared for those courses.

This book and accompanying DVD aim to educate readers about the application of 3D echocardiography in the evaluation of valvular heart disease. A strong emphasis is placed on correlating findings with surgical observations. Additionally, the book offers valuable insights into comparing two-dimensional and three-dimensional echocardiography in diagnosing valvular heart disease, planning valvular interventions, and monitoring therapy.

By leveraging the power of 3D echocardiography, healthcare professionals can gain a deeper understanding of heart valve anatomy and function, facilitating accurate diagnoses, effective treatment planning, and monitoring of valvular disorders. This comprehensive resource is a valuable tool for cardiologists, fellows, residents, and practitioners seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in valvular heart disease assessment and management.
