CARDIO3® Atlas of Three-dimensional Echocardiography - reference/learning tool for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, internists, other physicians, and sonographers evaluating 3D echocardiograms for ultrasound diagnosis.

In our atlas we have collected typical as well as rare and sometimes even bizarre of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT-3D TEE) findings we meet in daily routine.

The first chapter deals with mitral valve pathology and is subdivided into several sections: normal mitral valve and functional regurgitation, prolapse, Barlow disease, infective endocarditis, mitral stenosis, mitral valvuloplasty ring, mitral prosthesis (mechanical and biological) and various.

Second chapter deals with aortic valve pathology. The third chapter comprises both normal findings and pathology of the left atrium and surrounding structures.

Other chapters like congenital heart defects are coming soon.
