TL;DR: This document provides updated normal values for all four cardiac chambers, including three-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial deformation, when possible, on the basis of considerably larger numbers of normal subjects, compiled from multiple databases.

TL;DR: MV reoperation was uncommon after MV repair, but there was an increasing incidence of recurrent MR, TR, and new AF over time.

TL;DR: The World Alliance Societies of Echocardiography (WASE) Normal Values Study as mentioned in this paper evaluated individuals from multiple countries and races with the aim of describing normative values that could be applied to the global community worldwide and to determine differences and similarities among people from different countries and race.

TL;DR: Automated 3DE analysis of left-heart chambers is an accurate alternative to conventional manual methodology, which yields almost the same values across laboratories and is more reproducible than manual measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was used to analyze atrial septal defect (ASD) with four goals: (1) to determine feasibility, (2) to analyze the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative data, (3) to assess strengths and weaknesses of the available modes of 3D TEE, and (4) to provide 3D Transesophagesomeal echo-cardiography reference images.
