the patient with this comprehensive atlas and text
Color Atlas & Synopsis of Echocardiography provides you with an
encyclopedic, case-based overview of this essential imaging modality.
Featuring more than 500 of state-of-the-art cardiac ultrasound images,
this unmatched resource examines both the optimal use and limitations of
echocardiography in a variety of clinical situations, with an emphasis

Unlike traditional echocardiography texts, this Atlas is focused on the

echocardiographic images. Authored by expert contributors, each topic
begins with a clinical case presentation (patient story) and also
includes evidence ratings from the combined ACC/AHA/ASE guidelines and
full references.
Topics include:
Echocardiographic methods used in everyday practice for the diagnosis
and management of cardiac patients, from Transthoracic, Transesophageal
and Stress Echocardiography to Hand-Carried Ultrasound (HCU)
The role of echocardiography in the diagnosis and management of patients
with known or suspected coronary artery disease
