Publisher's Synopsis
This handbook is intended to help the physician and sonographer to learn echo concepts and techniques in a "user friendly" way, to help them perform studies and understand concepts in order to collect as much clinically useful information as possible on an individual patient.
The book is written as a very practical and easy to read manual. Each chapter highlights the various aspects of echocardiography, and practical tips are displayed throughout the book. The text is extensively illustrated with annotated diagrams, real time ultrasound images and Doppler traces. It will be useful to the echocardiographer and sonographer for practical guidance into performing a thorough goal–oriented study for a particular problem and for the physician/cardiologist in developing the interpretation.
