Echocardiography: A Practical Guide for Reporting and Interpretation
is a step-by-step guide to clinical echocardiography.
This new edition has been extensively revised and includes new
international guidelines, grading criteria and normal data. The book
presents an up-to-date discussion of echocardiography use in both acute
and critical care settings and provides increased guidance for clinical
interpretation, including how echocardiography can help inform surgical
decisions. In addition, the content has been extended, particularly in
the consideration of valve disease and cardiomyopathies.
Providing a pragmatic approach to clinical echocardiography, the book
also covers examples of conditions requiring urgent clinical advice. It
contains a summary of formulae as well as supporting online images and
videos.
