About this book

Essential Echocardiography: A Practical Handbook serves as today's premier practical guide to the understanding of the most commonly used cardiac imaging technique in the world. The perfect marriage between anatomy and physiology, the text covers emerging cardiac imaging technologies, advances in ultrasound technology, as well as new techniques and applications of cardiac ultrasound.

Essential Echocardiography: A Practical Handbook provides the physiological, anatomical, and diagnostic grounding for all students of cardiac ultrasound, as well as a sound basis for a more general understanding of cardiac imaging. This volume will be of great value to cardiologists in training and practice, internists, and cardiac sonographers.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This is a basic echocardiographic textbook that encompasses all aspects of cardiac ultrasound. … intended audience includes anyone interested in developing the skills required to either acquire and/or interpret cardiac ultrasound images including students, sonographers, cardiology fellows, and echocardiographers. … a book that is well suited as a text for trainees and as a refresher for practicing clinicians. … this book has raised the bar for a basic echocardiographic text." (Michael C Cunningham, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2008)
