Abstract:
In vitro studies have suggested superior accuracy of 3-dimensional echocardiography over conventional methods for the characterization and quantitation of color Doppler flow events. Little in vivo work has been reported in this area; this study demonstrates the feasibility of 3-dimensional reconstruction of mitral valve flow events in an unselected group of adult patients and discusses optimal instrument settings for the acquisition of 3-dimensional datasets.
