title: [Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography -- a further step in non-invasive three-dimensional cardiac imaging].
abstract: Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography is a new cardiac imaging methodology, which allows three-dimensional non-invasive evaluation of the myocardial mechanics. The aim of this review is to present this new tool emphasizing its diagnostic potentials and demonstrating its limitations, as well.
