Abstract:
Structural heart disease includes congenital cardiovascular structural abnormalities, valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathy, which shows the common features of cardiac anatomical structure and hemodynamic abnormalities, especially anatomical abnormalities. Echocardiography, especially three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound, is good at displaying anatomical structure and blood flow abnormalities. As a non-invasive method of examination, it has advantage in the evaluation of such heart diseases. In recent years, the gradual rise of 3D printing technology can make physical printing, and the printed heart model can stereoscopically display abnormal state of heart diseases. Ultrasound combined with 3D printing technology may provide more intuitive and accurate information for the assessment of structural heart disease.
