Practical handbook of echocardiography: 101 case studies

The aims of this book are to provide a practical applications book for use byphysicians, residences, fellows, and technologists to enhance their knowledgeabout reading echocardiograms and to enable them to better understand how best to integrate the data in order to improve patient care. Although there are many good echocardiographic textbooks published they are often too complex for basic clinical use. This book will be designed to explain in basic terminologyhow to record high-quality cross-section images, Doppler tracings, and measure the parameters in the clinical laboratory. Additionally, explanations of technique will be described in-line rather than reference the reader to another area of the book. For easy reference and understanding, the book will contain aCD that will provide cine loops with examples of normal and disease states. The book will also provide the normal range for all of parameters and diagnostic standard for each disease state in an easily referenced manner. This book will focus on adult heart diseases, and add new form of cardiac conditions in recent years. This book will focus on the basic echocardiograms (2-D, Doppler and occasional M-modes), but will include some of the newest modalities, including 3-D echo, tissue Doppler and quantitative measurements as well as some of the new conditions that have been uncovered (e.g., Tokotsubos, noncompaction, etc). In an era of evidenced-based medicine, Practical Handbook of Echocardiography will provide quantitative determinations rather than just qualitative data.
