Product Description
This best-selling and highly-praised book provides a practical and clinically useful introduction to echo. The author explains the echo techniques available, what an echo can and cannot give, and, importantly, puts echo into a clinical perspective. The sections are ordered with the techniques most often used to diagnose a particular clinical problem explained first. The final chapter deals with special clinical situations.

- It provides full practical coverage of the clinical aspects of heart disease.
- It will be of great use to those experienced in echo as a refresher and reference source in pocket-size.
- Fully updated with the many recent advances in echocardiography.
- Now presented in full colour throughout with new illustrations.
- New sections on device therapy for heart failure (cardiac resynchronization therapy, CRT) and the use of echo and TOE (or TEE) in special situations.
- Expanded sections on diastolic function and tissue Doppler imaging.

As an cardiovascular sonography student, I recommend this book to anyone that wants a book to explain echoes in "layman's terms"!!
 Echo can not be easy! October 31, 2008

Echo has a long learning journey: in fact, it is not easy at all! And this is another book that only serves to prove it. Sistematic review of cardiological pathologies, but insufficient to rule begginer's first steps into echo. Not practical nor reasonable step by step approach- describes 2-D features with the same detail that tissue doppler imaging, per example.
 Good Start for first week August 17, 2008

I bought this book for my first echo rotation, this book is easy to understand and cover many basic principles of echocardiography. This is a great book for your first 2-4 weeks of Echo learning , but the benefit of it will get much smaller as time go by.
Great for beginners, but . . . July 16, 2008

This is a great book for beginning Echo students or someone who just wants a simple overview of Echo. But, if you are an Echo tech that wants a much more advanced reference this is not it. Doesn't go into advanced cardiac abnormalities or congential diseases.
