Abstract

Congenital heart disease affects approximately 0.8% of the population.1 It is also estimated that there are approximately one million adults in the US living with some form of congenital heart disease.2 In daily practice, echocardiography is the most widely used imaging modality for diagnosis and evaluation of these patients. As medical technology has developed, this modality has continuously evolved to provide better qualitative and quantitative assessment of cardiac anatomy and function.
