Practical Handbook of Echocardiography: 101 Case Studies

Echocardiography is now one of the most commonly used diagnostic
imaging tools, yet many clinicians remain unaware of the range of
conditions echo can reveal or how echo can be used to help plan
therapy. Moreover, it can be quite challenging even for the most
seasoned practitioners to spot unusual conditions.

Compiled by three echocardiographers with more than 100 years of
clinical experience between them, Practical Handbook of
Echocardiography uses a case-based approach to explain in
detail the full spectrum of echocardiographic modalities and how to
optimize their use in the clinical setting. This practical new
book:

* Covers the full gamut of echocardiographic modalities,
including M-mode, 2-D,3-D and Doppler (PW, CW, color flow, tissue
and strain), transesophageal (intra-operative and routine) and
contrast

* Describes cases in both clinical and echocardiographic terms
including very interesting cases and the new clinical
techniques

* Features beautifully reproduced, well-labeled, full color
echocardiograms

* Includes accompanying DVD with real-time video clips

Appropriate for physician echocardiographers and all
cardiologists, as well as echocardiographic technicians,
Practical Handbook of Echocardiography is the ideal concise
guide to using echocardiography to make definitive diagnoses and
improve patient outcomes.
