Reviews
From the reviews:
“The intended audience includes sonographers and echocardiographers. … Extensive topics ranging from the physics of echocardiography, to three-dimensional echocardiography, to the use of echocardiography to assess heart transplants are well covered. … a wonderfully thorough resource for echocardiography board review. … Readers who prefer an atlas or outline format you will find this to be an excellent resource for echocardiography. The topics it covers are important and wide-ranging, and the information is presented succinctly and with full-color, highly detailed, albeit small, images.” (David J. Homan, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2012)
“No heart specialist should be without this book, which expounds on advanced and sophisticated interpretation of echocardiographic data. Case Based Echocardiography liberally uses images and actual patient histories to teach the reader how to interpret echo results. Vital to any health-care professional who uses echocardiography in the daily course of their practice.” (The Electric Review, October, 2012)
“This book … is a collection of lecture notes around the echocardiography syllabus. … find a home in the library of the larger echo department to be picked up when a brief text is required to address a particular case-based echo problem.” (Guy Lloyd, Cardiology News, February/March, 2013)
