title: [Evaluation of the mitral valve by transthoracic real-time three-dimensional echocardiography].
abstract: Recently, echocardiography is the most widely used routine non-invasive diagnostic method, with which morphology and function of the mitral valve can be characterized. The aim of this review is to demonstrate the role of one of the newest echocardiographic developments, the transthoracic real-time three-dimensional echocardiography in the evaluation of mitral valve.
