### Tricuspid Valve Disease
Right ventricular volume overload can have disastrous effects on the right heart. But when does it occur? How does it affect the right heart? Which abnormalities do we see on the echo and what is its consequence? These topics will be discussed here. Since tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is the most common cause of right ventricular volume overload, we will also focus on the tricuspid valve and its pathologies. You will also learn how to quantify TR and which treatment options for TR are available. Other topics related to volume overload covered in this chapter are pulmonic regurgitation and atrial septal defects.

### Right Heart Disease
Early diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is crucial for the prognosis of patients with pulmonary hypertension. Echocardiography is the primary diagnostic tool to do so. In this chapter we will show you how to detect pulmonary hypertension and what to do if direct measurement of pulmonary pressure using the tricuspid valve signal is not possible.

### Pericardial Disease
Why do we have a pericardium? Can we live without a pericardium? How do we see pericardial effusions? What is the etiology of pericardial diseases?
The pericardium truly is more important than you think. Pericardial effusions are common, and you don't want to miss a patient with constrictive pericarditis. In 5 lectures packed with cases and echo loop examples, you will learn how to detect pericardial effusions and how echo can help you to determine its etiology and guide therapy. An entire lecture is dedicated to the important question of whether a pericardial effusion is hemodynamically significant - the signs of tamponade will be shown in detail. In addition, we will present how easy it can be to detect pericardial constriction by looking at a few key features on the echo. After watching this more than 2-hour long chapter, you will be a true expert on the pericardium.

### Contrast Echo
Here you will learn why contrast echocardiography is so important and where you can use it. We will focus both on right- and left heart contrast studies and show you which agents are available. Here you will learn how to detect a patent foramen ovale, a thrombus in the apex and much much more. Again you will see lots of examples.

### D Echo
Three-dimensional echocardiography is a hot topic. In this chapter we will explain how it works and in which ways you can use it. We will discuss topics such as full volume- and multibeat acquisition, multiplane imaging and live 3D. Both transthoracic and transesophageal applications of 3D echo are discussed. This chapter is full of spectacular images.
