Essential Echocardiography covers all of the major issues in diagnostic echocardiography. Specific subtopics that are common to all chapters include technical aspects of imaging, diagnostic pitfalls, and important clinical points for each diagnosis. The Echocardiographic Casebook will be of great value to cardiologists in both training and practice, internists, and cardiac sonographers.
The premier practical guide to understanding echocardiography Covers emerging cardiac technologies, advances in ultrasound technology, and new techniques and applications Provides an overview of the underlying physical and physiological principles of echocardiography Includes echocardiographic images and dedicated illustrations
