This book is a step-by-step manual for the complete echo-novice. It should be the only book needed to become a proficient echocardiographer. The text focuses on the practicalities of performing an examination, and the interpretation of images. Avoiding unnecessary technicalities, it places particular emphasis on the diagnostic features of sample cases and covers the entire breadth of adult cardiology. The majority of the echo images are also available in a dynamic form through the online ancillaries. Also included is access to 100 case scenarios and images for self-assessment interpretation. The combination of the book and the website materials provides an unparalleled learning experience for people who do not routinely practice echocardiography.
• The text covers the basic concepts of how ultrasound works and looks at practical aspects of how to perform an echo
• It examines both normal function as well as the whole range of pathologies encountered in day-to-day clinical practice.
• How to report your interpretation of the echo findings is emphasised
• The book is highly illustrated throughout with real examples; the accompanying online ancillaries allows the reader to view the images in dynamic form, thus offering a comprehensive library of echo movies
• The text takes a straightforward approach, avoiding detailed physics and physiology
• Fully up to date with the latest recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography as well as including equivalents from the British Society of Echocardiography
• 100 self-assessment cases on the website test knowledge and interpretation skills and is aimed at BSE accreditation exam level.
