Anatomic Basis of Echocardiographic Diagnosis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The aim of this book is to provide a systematic approach to echocardiographic diagnosis based upon a comprehensive understanding of cardiac anatomy. We shall provide abundant anatomic correlates of echocardiographic findings throughout the book.The book will be divided into three sections. Each chapter will cover both normal and pathological findings on echocardiography with anatomic correlation. The first section will address the normal findings which can be appreciated by current day echocardiography. The impact of aging on cardiac structure and function will also be covered in this section. In the second section, specific cardiac diseases will be discussed. The differentiating features between normal and pathologic conditions will be discussed. The last section will address specific clinical settings where echocardiography is pivotal for diagnosis and patient management.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This book provides an in-depth, systematic approach to the clinical application of echocardiography with a strong foundation in anatomy and pathology. ... It is suitable for sonographers, physicians in training, internists, and cardiologists. ... a valuable resource for those seeking an in-depth understanding of anatomic correlates of echocardiography. ... The strength of this book lies in the unique relationship of the authors, where frequent dialogue and review between the pathologist and echocardiographer truly produces a final product that will assist readers in ... cardiology."
