The fourth edition of Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography presents an accessible primer on this complex topic from
Dr. Catherine Otto, one of the foremost teachers and writers in the field. You뭠l find straightforward explanations of
the basics of ultrasound physics, image acquisition, and all the major techniques and major disease categories, as well
as the latest on advanced echo techniques뾱uch as contrast echo, 3D echo, and myocardial mechanics (strain rate
imaging, speckle tracking, and synchrony). Each chapter뾦ncluding a new one on intraoperative transesophageal
echocardiography뾣eatures a practical outline called The Echo Exam, ideal for understanding the use of echo and its
outcomes. State-of-the-art echo images are complemented by full-color comparative drawings of heart structures. And
now, you can access the full text online thanks to Expert Consult functionality.
