Three-dimensional echocardiography has markedly improved our understanding of normal and pathologic mitral valve (MV) mechanics. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of three-dimensional (3D) data on the mitral valve could have a clinical impact on diagnosis, patient referral, surgical strategies, annuloplasty ring design and evaluation of the immediate and long-term surgical outcome. This review covers the contribution of 3D echocardiography in the diagnosis of MV disease, its role in selecting and monitoring surgical procedures, and in the assessment of surgical outcomes. Moreover, advantages of this technique versus the standard 2D modality, as well as future applications of advanced analysis techniques, will be reviewed.
三维超声心动图显著提高了我们对正常和病态二尖瓣（MV）力学的理解。二尖瓣的三维（3D）数据的定性和定量分析可能会对诊断、患者转诊、手术策略、瓣环成形环设计以及评估即时和长期手术结果产生临床影响。这篇综述涵盖了 3D 超声心动图在 MV 疾病诊断中的贡献、在选择和监测手术过程中的作用，以及在评估手术结果中的作用。此外，还将回顾该技术相对于标准 2D 模式的优势，以及高级分析技术的未来应用。
