We report a case of a 55-year-old male admitted for cardiogenic embolic ischemic stroke work up. A transesophageal (TE) echocardiography (E) with contrast study to rule out patent foramen ovale (PFO) was performed; two-dimensional (2D) analysis did not ...

Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography of tricuspid valve
Imaging of the tricuspid valve (TV) by three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has not received much attention. 3DE allows users to visualize the whole TV apparatus from any perspective and enables a comprehensive evaluation of the leaflets. This review

Three-dimensional echocardiography in congenital heart disease
Three-dimensional echocardiography is a valuable tool for the assessment of cardiac function where it permits calculation of chamber volume and function. The anatomy of valvar and septal structures can be presented in unique and intuitive ways to enhance

Three dimensional echocardiographic imaging of multiple recurrent myxomas
We report a case of a recurrence of 5 cardiac myxomas in both atria with atypical anatomical features difficult to image. Although a multimodality imaging was performed, three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) was the only technique able to correctly ...

Quantification of left ventricular longitudinal strain, strain rate, velocity and displacement in healthy horses by 2-dimensional speckle tracking [PDF]
Background: The quantification of equine left ventricular (LV) function is generally limited to short-axis M-mode measurements. However, LV deformation is 3-dimensional (3D) and consists of longitudinal shortening, circumferential shortening, and radial ...

Prognostic value of echocardiographic indices of left atrial morphology and function in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease [PDF]
Background: The prognostic relevance of left atrial (LA) morphological and functional variables, including those derived from speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), has been little investigated in veterinary medicine.

Mixed Valvular Disease Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Quantification and Systematic Differentiation Using Clinical Measurements and Image-Based Patient‐Specific In Silico Modeling [PDF]
Background: Mixed valvular disease (MVD), mitral regurgitation (MR) from pre‐existing disease in conjunction with paravalvular leak (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is one of the most important stimuli for left ventricle (LV)

Right Heart Remodeling in Patients with End-Stage Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis: Speckle Tracking Point of View [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Data regarding cardiac remodeling in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis are scarce. We sought to investigate right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) structure, function, and mechanics in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

Three-dimensional fetal echocardiography
The complex anatomy and dynamics of the heart make it a challenging organ to image. The fetal heart is particularly difficult because it is located deep within the mother's abdomen and direct access to electrocardiographic information is difficult.
