Using two-dimensional echocardiography, the complex anatomy of the mitral valve needs mental reconstruction into its three-dimensional shape. The power of both transthoracic and transesophageal three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) lies in its possibility of showing the complex mitral valve anatomy in one single image, as opposed to the mental reconstruction based on multiple two-dimensional images and schematic assumptions. Several 3DE modalities are used in daily life, including real time (“live”) modes as wells as postprocessed images. 3DE is of special interest in the evaluation of mitral stenosis, complex mitral valve prolapse and mitral valve prostheses. It has an established role in the perioperative mitral valve assessment during mitral valve surgery as well as during percutaneous mitral valve procedures. Limitations of 3DE are relatively low frame rates, an important learning curve as well as timeconsuming processing. Full article

The differential diagnosis of recurrent chest pain is manifold. Although it is unlikely in younger people, a cardiac origin should always be considered. We report a case of recurrent chest pain which was initially considered to have a gastrointestinal or psychic origin. A circadian pattern of the pain was conspicuous. Finally, coronary angiography performed in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome followed by life-threatening rhythm disturbances established the diagnosis. Full article

The number of pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator patients followed up in Switzerland has been steadily increasing over the last years. With the aim of ensuring the quality of follow-up of these patients, the Swiss Society of Cardiology has published relevant guidelines in 2000 and 2005. The European Heart Rhythm Association introduced accreditation for cardiac pacing in 2006, and defined the core curriculum for recognition as a heart rhythm specialist in 2009. Following these developments, and in order to maintain coherence with European recommendations, it was deemed necessary to update the Swiss guidelines. Full article
