A short clinical text introduces each of the 150 cases. The echocardiograms are demonstrated by 2-5 high-quality images accompanied by legends describing the views and salient details. These include two-dimesional images, M-mode tracings, spectral Doppler and colour Doppler echocardiograms. A short commentary follows in which the relevance of the echocardiographic findings is discussed. The text will also be useful for those taking the echocardiography examinations of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE).
