Abstract

We evaluated the diagnostic use of a real-time 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic system in 106 patients referred for echocardiography during a 4-month period. Real-time 3D echocardiography was performed and recorded in parallel with a routine, comprehensive 2-dimensional (2D) study. The diagnoses were exclusively on the basis of 2D findings. The 3D volumes were sliced offline in the 3 dimensions to selectively display specific cardiac structures and reviewed independent of the 2D findings. The 3D studies were graded as: A, new finding not on 2D studies; B, useful anatomic perspective; C, equivalent to 2D studies; or D, missed 2D findings. Compared with 2D echocardiography, 3D echocardiography was graded A in 7 (7%), B in 19 (18%), C in 65 (61%), and D in 15 (14%) cases. In the 26 grade-A and grade-B studies, mitral valve disease and congenital heart disease accounted for 16 (61%) cases. Suboptimal image quality was present in 7 (47%) of the 15 grade-D studies. Thus, real-time 3D echocardiography yields anatomic information comparable with conventional 2D echocardiography in the majority of patients. It can provide new and useful anatomic insight, particularly in patients with mitral valve disease and congenital heart disease...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
