Recent developments in three-dimensional echocardiography have made it possible to obtain images in real time, without the need for off-line reconstruction. These developments have enabled the technique to become an important tool for both research and daily clinical practice. A substantial proportion of the studies carried out using three-dimensional echocardiography have focused on the mitral valve, the pathophysiology of mitral valve disease and, in particular, functional mitral regurgitation. The aims of this article were to review the contribution of three-dimensional echocardiography to understand the functional anatomy of the mitral valve and to summarize the resulting clinical applications and therapeutic implications.
三维超声心动图的最新进展使得实时获取图像成为可能,无需进行离线重建。这些进展使该技术成为研究和日常临床实践的重要工具。使用三维超声心动图进行的大量研究都集中在二尖瓣、二尖瓣疾病的病理生理学,尤其是功能性二尖瓣反流方面。本文的目的是回顾三维超声心动图在理解二尖瓣功能解剖方面的贡献,并总结由此产生的临床应用和治疗意义。
