Abstract:
The development of real-time three dimensional echocardiography has allowed for the incorporation of 3-dimensional echocardiographic imaging into everyday cardiovascular clinical practice. In this State of the Art Paper we will provide an overview of three dimensional echocardiography and specific indications in which it has incremental value over traditional 2-dimensional echocardiography.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
