Abstract

Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential tool in the diagnosis, assessment, and management of paediatric and adult populations with suspected or confirmed congenital heart disease. Congenital echocardiography is highly operator-dependent, requiring advanced technical acquisition and interpretative skill levels. This document is designed to complement previous congenital echocardiography literature by providing detailed practical echocardiography imaging guidance on sequential segmental analysis, and is intended for implementation predominantly, but not exclusively, within adult congenital heart disease settings. It encompasses the recommended dataset to be performed and is structured in the preferred order for a complete anatomical and functional sequential segmental congenital echocardiogram. It is recommended that this level of study be performed at least once on all patients being assessed by a specialist congenital cardiology service. This document will be supplemented by a series of practical pathology specific congenital echocardiography guidelines. Collectively, these will provide structure and standardisation to image acquisition and reporting, to ensure that all important information is collected and interpreted appropriately.

对先天性心脏病患者进行全面经胸超声心动图的实用指南:英国超声心动图学会的一致建议。

经胸超声心动图是诊断、评估和管理怀疑或确诊先天性心脏病的儿童和成人人群的重要工具。先天性超声心动图高度依赖于操作者，需要先进的技术获取和解释技能水平。本文档旨在通过提供详细实用的超声心动图连续节段分析成像指导来补充以前的先天性超声心动图文献，并旨在主要实施，但不限于成人先天性心脏病的设置。它包含要执行的推荐数据集，并按照完整解剖和功能顺序分段先天性超声心动图的首选顺序进行结构。建议在所有接受先天性心脏病专家评估的患者中至少进行一次这种水平的研究。本文件将补充一系列实用病理特定先天性超声心动图指南。总的来说，这些将为图像采集和报告提供结构和标准化，以确保所有重要信息的收集和适当解释。

期刊介绍： Echo Research and Practice aims to be the premier international journal for physicians, sonographers, nurses and other allied health professionals practising echocardiography and other cardiac imaging modalities. This open-access journal publishes quality clinical and basic research, reviews, videos, education materials and selected high-interest case reports and videos across all echocardiography modalities and disciplines, including paediatrics, anaesthetics, general practice, acute medicine and intensive care. Multi-modality studies primarily featuring the use of cardiac ultrasound in clinical practice, in association with Cardiac Computed Tomography, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance or Nuclear Cardiology are of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to: 2D echocardiography 3D echocardiography Comparative imaging techniques – CCT, CMR and Nuclear Cardiology Congenital heart disease, including foetal echocardiography Contrast echocardiography Critical care echocardiography Deformation imaging Doppler echocardiography Interventional echocardiography Intracardiac echocardiography Intraoperative echocardiography Prosthetic valves Stress echocardiography Technical innovations Transoesophageal echocardiography Valve disease.
