Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography-5판

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

?Covers all main diseases, including adult congenital heart disease, with a problem-based approach to echocardiography.

?Reviews basic principles for evaluation, the echocardiographic approach, differential diagnosis, limitations, and
technical considerations for each disease, as well as alternate diagnostic approaches.

?Enables you to perform procedures correctly and recognize inadequate data with coverage of technical details for data
acquisition and limitations of each echocardiographic approach.

?Emphasizes alternative diagnostic approaches to help you solve clinical problems when echocardiography does not
provide a definitive answer.

?Includes The Echo Exam (a brief summary of how to do it, the necessary calculations, diagnosis and examples) as an
appendix for review and reinforcement.

?Features a new chapter dedicated to intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, cross-referenced with other
chapters, for coverage of this important and difficult technique.

?Covers myocardial mechanics뾱train rate imagine, speckle tracking, and synchrony뾦n the advanced modalities, in
addition to contrast and 3D echo.

?Integrates TTE and TEE images more explicitly into each chapter to discuss the two techniques in parallel and give
you clear explanations of the pros, cons, and the role of each modality in patient evaluation.

?Includes new digital images throughout뾵ith more TEE, more echocardiograms, and color diagrams뾱o you can easily
identify cardiac problems.

?Presents the latest ASE recommendations for chamber quantification, including updated tables of normal measurements,
for convenient reference.

?Provides online access to the full text of the book through Expert Consult functionality.

Your purchase entitles you to access the web site until the next edition is published, or until the current edition is
