Assessment During and After Surgery or Interventional Procedures on the Mitral Valve
This chapter provides an overview of the role of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) in surgical and percutaneous mitral valve procedures. Throughout the chapter, numerous still images and videos are prov...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Devices
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality as it impairs cardiac function and is a major risk of embolic stroke. Traditionally, thromboembo...

Open AccessA novel and practical cardiovascular magnetic resonance method to quantify mitral annular excursion and recoil applied to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
We have developed a novel and practical cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique to evaluate left ventricular (LV) mitral annular motion by tracking the atrioventricular junction (AVJ). To test AVJ mo...

Real Time Three Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography for Guidance of Catheter Based Interventions
Over the recent years, percutaneous catheter-based intracardiac procedures have gained growing acceptance into the cardiac procedural armamentarium allowing treatment of increasingly complex cardiac pathologie...

Acute myocardial infarction due to left anterior descending coronary artery dissection after blunt chest trauma
Cardiac complications of chest trauma range from arrhythmias to valvular avulsions to myocardial contusion, rupture, and rarely myocardial infarction. We describe a case of a young patient with blunt chest tra...

Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in transcutaneous, catheter-based procedures for repair of structural heart diseases
We review the use of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT3D-TEE) in guiding percutaneous catheter-based procedures to repair structural heart defects. The utility of this novel imag...

Chapter
Echocardiography in Acute Coronary Syndrome: Anatomy, Essential Views and Imaging Plains
A plentiful arterial circulation is required for an effective myocardial function during both systole and diastole. This supply/demand coupling is accomplished through regional matching of the arterial supply ...

Chapter
Echo Assessment of Systolic and Diastolic Function in Acute Coronary Syndrome
The human heart, being almost exclusively dependent on aerobic metabolism, requires a constant supply of oxygen to avoid tissue injury. Even at rest, the human myocardium extracts almost the entire oxygen cont...

Article
CT Appearance of Isolated Dextroversion
We present the multidetector CT appearance of a case of isolated dextroversion. Dextroversion is a rare anomaly characterized by extreme right-sided rotation of the heart resulting in dextrocardia with the lef...

Aortic rupture: comparison of three imaging modalities
We report a case of a 56-year-old man with traumatic aortic rupture (TAR) sustained in a motor vehicle accident diagnosed by helical computed tomography, aortography, and transesophageal echocardiography. A la...
