Echocardiography A Case-Based Review

This case-based echo review product (casebook and online component) complements the Echo Manual, 3e, with real time echocardiographic examples. The examples illustrate best practices in technique and interpretation. The authors present 100 cases, each designed to bring out salient features of echocardiographic performance, interpretation, and clinical applications. The casebook stands alone, but cross-references the Manual. The print portion presents a brief case history with initial findings and still images of the echo. The online companion website offers interactive Q&A that follows the patient's echo clips for proper patient management. Using actual cases, concise answers to the review questions explain key findings in the actual test(s). The authors lead the trainee through key points in diagnosis or technique, differential diagnoses, caveats, and an online library of the echo for evaluation. Of primary interest to echo trainees and experts are cases dealing with mechanical dyssynchrony, 3D echo, ICC, diastology, and vascular imaging. Features Include: Case-based approach to learning and refining echo skills Cross references to The Echo Manual, Third Edition Companion website that accompanies the text with text with a question bank, over 950+ echo clips and 500+ questions AVI clips of actual echo studies for each of the 100 cases (which includes several studies at various points in the patient's treatment)
