Prologue
No doubt that echocardiography is the cornerstone in the non invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. It provides and accurate, fast and easy to access way of assessing morphology and function of the heart. The continuous evolution of echocardiography has lead to the appearance of different tools that assess heart morphology and function in abetter way. One of the most revolutionary evolutions since the beginning has been 3D echocardiography. Simply because the heart is a 3D structure and works as a 3D pump is a potent reason why cardiologist wants to see the heart in 3D. In this book Dr. Eduardo Casas and colleagues tried to make 3D echo very practical. Indeed is a manual that aims to simplify the understanding and application of 3D echocardiography. The book comprises ten different sections. Starting with the basics, the minimum knowledge that we need to know before doing a 3D echo is explained. This section is really practical, avoiding complex terms of physics that sometimes produces confusions instead of help. We can learn the basic physics, so as the general rules for transthoracic so as transesophageal 3D echocardiogr
