This comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of both live/real time
3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography illustrates
both normal and pathologic cardiovascular
findings. With more than 800 images that detail the technique of
performing these studies and demonstrate various cardiovascular
pathologies, as well as a DVD containing more than 350 moving
images, it is a valuable compendium for both novice and experienced
practitioners.
The book opens with chapters on the history of 3D
echocardiography and basic and technical aspects of live/real time
3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograpy, then
considers:
* normal anatomy, examination protocols, and the technique for
performing live/real time 3D transthoracic echocardiography
* abnormalities affecting the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and
pulmonary valves and the aorta
* prosthetic heart valves
* 3D echocardiographic assessment of left and right ventricular
function, ischemic heart disease, and cardiomyopathies
* congenital cardiac lesions
* tumors and other mass lesions
* pericardial disorders
* live/real time 3D transesophageal echocardiography
It concludes with coverage of some of the most recent advances
in 3D technology, real time full-volume imaging, and 3D wall
tracking, including 3D assessment of strain, strain rate, twist,
and torsion.
Vividly demonstrating the superiority of 3D echocardiography
over conventional 2D imaging in several clinical situations, this
carefully produced volume shows how to use the most recent
technology for better assessment of cardiovascular disease.
