Abstract
Imaging of the tricuspid valve (TV) by three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has not received much attention. 3DE allows users to visualize the whole TV apparatus from any perspective and enables a comprehensive evaluation of the leaflets. This review summarizes the current status of real time 3DE evaluation of TV morphology and function with its potential implications for TV disease assessment, as well as its clinical applications and limitations.
