Background Echocardiography has evolved into the most predominant diagnostic imaging technique in cardiology. Over the last five decades the diagnostic capability of echocardiography has increased dramatically from M-mode to two-dimensional (2-D) imaging. Recent advances in ultrasound instrumentation and computer technology have led to three-dimensional (3-D) echocardiography, introducing a new… View more

Mitral valve disease is a common disease that requires an accurate evaluation in order to decide when and how the problem should be treated. Realtime three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3-D) is a new technique that allows us to visualise the mitral valvular anatomy in any desired space orientation. This review will focus on two specific subject areas in which our research team has been working:… View more

Abstract Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most commonly found valvular lesion in echocardiography laboratories. Moderate and severe mitral regurgitation have proven to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and surgical reconstruction is recommended in severe cases whenever feasible. Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is superior to conventional echocardiography in the… View more

There has been a considerable evolution in technology since the initial description of 3D echocardiography several decades ago.1 The first generation of 3D probes performed gated acquisition with static rendering of images, but not in realtime. The second generation did to an extent allow realtime imaging, but the relatively low density of active elements (approximately 300) resulted in a low… View more

Cardiovascular Management of Adults with Marfan Syndrome
Author(s): Yukiko Isekame , Sabiha Gati , Jose Antonio Aragon-Martin , et al Added: 3 years ago
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a disease in which connective tissue becomes weak secondary to fibrillin-1 mutations, resulting in aortic dilatation, aneurysm formation, aortic dissection, aortic regurgitation and mitral valve prolapse (MVP; see Table 1). Epidemiology MFS is an autosomal dominant condition: 75 % of all patients inherit the condition from one affected parent and 25 % are affected as… View more

Progress in 3D echocardiography was slow in the 1980s and 1990s, due mainly to technical reasons. Recently, along with the rapid evolution in probe and computer technologies, 3D echocardiography has grown into a well-developed technique that is able to display images of the heart that contain important new tissue and morphological information. This new technique is simple and rapid and enables… View more

Non-invasive imaging of the heart continues to evolve and improve. Cardiovascular ultrasound (echocardiography) continues to play an important role in the diagnosis and assessment of responses to therapy of many cardiac conditions. Even as the clinical applications of newer techniques such as cardiac computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) increase, the role of… View more
