3D is an essential tool in echocardiography #echofirst 👉 Accurate LV volumes & function — beyond geometrical assumptions, minimizing foreshortening 👉 The only robust way to assess RV volumes & function without geometric limitations 👉 Key to understanding mechanisms of valvular regurgitation But here’s the catch: None of this works without mastering 2D first 👉 Reliable quantification starts with optimal 2D reference planes 👉 Full visualization of endocardial borders is non-negotiable 👉 Valve assessment always begins with precise 2D imaging 👉 #ALAMO Transthoracic echocardiography is the perfect training ground for 3D in valvular heart disease — every technique you refine here will elevate your TEE 3D performance The secret to great 3D? It’s hidden in your 2D skills 🎯 The better your 2D imaging → the better your 3D datasets → the more confident your clinical decisions

🔑 to 3D is always 2D Quality 👉 If 2D is good often single beat is suffice Tricuspid Valve seen by #echofirst with #TEE #NotVividPioneerYet @GEHealthCare can´t wait to see it performing in my world (at least testing for one day..... and this Day is near) #3DEchoBerlin @DHZB_Akademie
