Textbook of Clinical Echocardiograph
Today’s echocardiography continues to be a low-cost, minimal-risk
procedure with the potential to yield a vast amount of detailed, precise
anatomic and physiologic information. Dr. Catherine Otto’s Textbook of
Clinical Echocardiography, 6th Edition, clearly outlines how to master
the core principles of echocardiographic imaging in order to make an
initial diagnosis and integrate this data in clinical decision making
for patients with a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. Ideal for
cardiology fellows, medicine residents, and cardiac sonography students,
this bestselling text teaches all the essential elements of ultrasound
physics, tomographic and 3D anatomy, image acquisition, advanced imaging
modalities, and application in specific disease categories– all with a
practical, problem-based approach.
Concentrates on the foundational
concepts you need to know to perform and interpret echocardiographic
studies and to pass your board exams.
Covers all advanced echo
techniques, including contrast echo, 3D echo, and myocardial mechanics,
as well as intraoperative and intra-procedural transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE). Discusses what alternative diagnostic
approaches to initiate when echocardiography does not provide a
definitive answer.Includes new Echo Math boxes in each chapter for quick
review and greater comprehension.
Provides new ASE recommendations for chamber quantitation, including updated tables of normal measurements.
Matches full-color anatomic drawings of heart structures with the 2D and 3D echocardiographic views.
Pairs
state-of-the-art echo images with more than 360 videos that illustrate
the full range of cardiac disease diagnosed with this powerful imaging
approach.
