      Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics is precisely the book cardiologists and cardiology trainees have been waiting for. While this essential area of echocardiography is crucial to cardiologists and all cardiac imagers, there are no dedicated books for case-based Doppler Echocardiography. This often-overlooked discipline integrates physiology with interpretation of a wide variety of real-life echo Doppler tracings. It contains critical information for professionals around the world, including contents highly relevant to their day-to-day practice as well as its unique case studies. An abundance of knowledge in this area can currently be found randomly in various textbooks, but they lack cohesive, dedicated explanations and discussions. Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics presents the reader with 100 different Doppler images, exemplifying (among other things) cardiophysiology image analysis, LVOT, pulmonary pressures, shunts, congenital heart disease and ECMO. It quite literally gives medical professionals a new way to look at the heart, better allowing them to diagnose and treat previously under-identified ailments. It is a must-have for healthcare workers interested in the most accurate, up-to-date methods of cardiac imaging and Doppler interpretation.
