Although 2-D echocardiography (2DE) was a major step forwards for the non-invasive assessment of cardiac structure and function, the diagnosis of complex disorders remained a difficult mental conceptualisation process. In addition, the measurement of left ventricular (LV) volume and function, the most common referral reason for echocardiography, required important geometric assumptions about its…

Historically pregnancy has been viewed as only clinically relevant to women and for the relatively brief time from conception to the puerperium. However it is now clear that events during pregnancy have much longer-term implications, particularly for cardiovascular health, both for the mother and her offspring.
Pregnancy complications such as hypertension and preterm birth appear to serve as a…

Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with acute risk of early malignant arrhythmias that can be easily treated during in-hospital intensive care by defibrillation, adjuvant antiarrhythmic therapy or even catheter ablation in resistant cases. Indeed, such management resulted in substantial improvement in MI survival rate. Despite the implementation of primary percutaneous coronary…

Introduction
In the UK there is still an emphasis on coronary anatomy as currently assessed using coronary angiography; however, high-grade coronary lesion may not cause myocardial ischaemia, for example in the presence of extensive collateral vessels. Dynamic imaging to show the physiological effect of any coronary stenosis is therefore an important part of the investigation of patients with…

Introduction
The heart is a dynamic organ and places special demands on three-dimensional (3-D) techniques. To understand its physiology and pathophysiology, not only the spatial distribution of its structures is important but also their movement during the cardiac cycles. Previous approaches to 3-D echocardiography (3-DE) were offline and based on sequential rotational scanning and acquisition…

The management of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) requires expertise in heart failure, cardiac imaging, electrophysiology, genetic testing and counselling, and in techniques that reduce left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Following the initial description of alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in 1995,1 it has gained rapid acceptance and is now the most commonly chosen…

Hypertension is a common and serious problem that is the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1–3 Over 70 million people in the US are affected by high blood pressure (BP) that requires treatment, and nearly one-third of the adult population in the US have a BP of ≥140/90mmHg, which is the defined cut-off value for hypertension.2,4 It is estimated that over 44% of people in Europe are…
