Abstract

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has many advantages over two-dimensional echocardiography, such as (1) improved visualization of the complex shapes and spatial relations between cardiac structures, (2) improved quantification of the cardiac volumes and function, and (3) improved display and assessment of valve dysfunction. The aim of this review article is to focus on the current clinical utility of 3DE.
