Three-dimensional Echocardiography pp 155–174Cite as

Valvular heart disease – stenoses

  • Chapter

Abstract

The benefits of three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography are particularly useful to evaluate valvular disease. Compared with two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography, 3D echocardiography improves the morphologic and quantitative assessment of valvular stenosis.
