Key result
Three-dimensional echocardiography provides additive value in congenital heart disease for visualizing morphology, quantitating chamber sizes and ventricular function, and guiding interventions.
Why the study?
Does three-dimensional echocardiography provide additive value compared to two-dimensional echocardiography in patients with congenital heart disease?

Three-dimensional echocardiography overcomes limitations of 2D imaging by providing enhanced visualization, quantification, and procedural guidance in congenital heart disease.
Complex intracardiac anatomy and spatial relationships are inherent to congenital heart defects (CHDs). Recognition of the limitations of two-dimensional echocardiography has stimulated clinical interest in three-dimensional imaging. The current review examines contemporary studies in the following areas where three-dimensional echocardiography has provided additive value in CHD: (1) visualization of morphology, (2) quantitation of chamber sizes and ventricular function, and (3) image-guided interventions.
