My Approach to 3D Echocardiography in Mitral Valve Insufficiency: How and When
DOI: 10.36660/abcimg.20230105i
Abstract
3D Echocardiogram is an indispensable tool in all stages of mitral valve disease, from its diagnosis to the moment of treatment, playing a fundamental role mainly in the decision for surgical plasty or percutaneous correction. In this article, we sought to present very important basic concepts in the use of the technique, from obtaining a 2D image, through the main tools for obtaining 3D images, to new solutions brought by manufacturers for presenting images and for post-processing software. This knowledge is fundamental and contributes to the demystification of 3D Echo, often labeled as difficult to perform and still little incorporated into our clinical practice.
