Abstract

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is one of the cardiac malformations that probably result from multiple developmental errors in the early stages of cardiogenesis. The most important findings are enlarged cardiac silhouette with prominent right atrium and right ventricle (RV), pulmonary venous hypertension, atrial septal defect, valvular stenosis or atresia and underdeveloped or too small left ventricle (LV) and ascending aorta [1,2]. Three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a new promising non-invasive clinical tool, which incorporates benefits of STE and 3D echocardiography allowing volumetric chamber quantifications and deformation measurements at the same time from a 3D data acquisition [3].
