ABSTRACT
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is now more common in adults than in children due to improvements in fetal echo, neonatal and pediatric care, and surgical techniques leading to dramatically increased survivability into adulthood. Adult patients with CHD, regardless of prior cardiac surgery, experience further cardiac problems or therapeutic challenges; therefore, a non-invasive, easily accessible echocardiographic examination is an essential follow-up tool. Among echocardiographic modalities, three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography provides better delineation of spatial relationships in complex cardiac geometries and more accurate volumetric information without geometric assumptions. For atrial septal defects, an en face view of the tissue defect allows better decisions on device closure. For tricuspid valve malformations, an en face view provides diagnostic information that is difficult to obtain from routine 2D tomography. In repaired tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary regurgitation, preoperative 3D echocardiography- based right ventricular volume may be used to determine the timing of a pulmonary valve replacement in conjunction with cardiovascular magnetic imaging. For optimal adult CHD care, 3D echocardiography is an important complement to routine 2D echocardiography.
