Table of contents:
1. Introduction 2. Positions, Patterns and Transducers 3. M-Mode and Doppler Examination 4. Echocardiographic Evaluation of Cardiac Chambers 5. Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease 6. Cyanotic Heart Disease 7. Acquired Valvular Disase 8. Cardiac Infections 9. Diseases of the Myocardium
Due to an increased awareness of early diagnostic and management of congenital heart disease, pediatric echocardiography has progessed recently in a major way. This concise step by step guide and the accompanying CD-ROM provide those just beginning to work in the echo lab with the basic information concerning the diagnostic interpretation of the echocardiograph, and the hemodynamic status of the various chambers and pressure gradients on the valves. Besides the cardiologist, this handy guide will also be of excellent assistance to all working in the pediatric echo lab.
This concise step by step guide and the accompanying CD-ROM provide those just beginning to work in the echo lab with the basic information concerning the diagnostic interpretation of the echocardiograph.
