Apex echocardiography. A two-dimensional technique for evaluating congenital heart disease.

Suprasternal notch echocardiography: a two-dimensional technique for evaluating congenital heart disease.

Two-dimensional suprasternal notch echocardiography was performed in 1033 patients, ages 1 day to 18 years. For the long-axis suprasternal notch view, the transducer was positioned in the suprasternal notch and angled to obtain a plane passing between the right nipple and left scapular tip. In this view, the entire aortic arch, vessels to the head and neck, right pulmonary artery and right bron...

Two dimensional echocardiography in congenital heart disease.

Two dimensional echocardiography has enhanced the ability of the clinician to define accurately intracardiac anatomy and great vessel relations. By visualizing relations of the great arteries and determining ventricular situs in the parasternal short axis planes and by assessing the relation of the great arteries to ventricles atrioventricular (A-V) valves and the interventricular septum in the...

Two-dimensional sector scanner echocardiography in cyanotic congenital heart disease.

Three-dimensional echocardiography in adult congenital heart disease

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is now more common in adults than in children due to improvements in fetal echo, neonatal and pediatric care, and surgical techniques leading to dramatically increased survivability into adulthood. Adult patients with CHD, regardless of prior cardiac surgery, experience further cardiac problems or therapeutic challenges; therefore, a non-invasive, easily accessibl...
