Practical Handbook of Echocardiography: 101 Case StudiesEchocardiography 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 detai... MOREl 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 clipsAppropriate 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.

"The field of echocardiography is of great importance to the care of patients with a problem involving the cardiovascular system. Virtually all patients with suspected or known cardiovascular diseases undergo echocardiographic analysis as part of their evaluation. The dramatic increase in the application and understanding of echocardiography has made echocardiography one of the most requested imaging modalities in the 21st century. In the past two decades there has been extensive development in the field with the increased use of transesophageal and three-dimensional echocardiography. As a consequence of this rapid development it has been difficult for practicing physicians to understand all of the many uses and innovations in this field"--Provided by publisher.

Finally, a basic echocardiography book that is clear enough for clinical use.Using basic terminology, the author explains how to record high-quality cross-section images, Doppler tracings, and measure the parameters in the clinical laboratory. Technical explanations are described "in-line" rather than referencing another area of the book. An accompanying CD provides cine loops with examples of normal and disease states. Focusing on basic echocardiograms (2-D, Doppler and occasional M-modes), the book also includes some of the newest modalities, such as 3-D echo and tissue Doppler. In an era of evidenced-based medicine, Practical Handbook of Echocardiography supplies important quantitative determinations rather than just qualitative data.
