About this title

Review

This atlas presents a crucial overview of assorted topics in echocardiography.

The purpose is to provide an immediate visual reference to the fundamental concepts that are key for learning echocardiography interpretation.

This book is most suitable for general cardiologists or cardiology fellows who are looking to master the skill of interpreting cardiac ultrasound.

Each of the 11 chapters depicts a different chamber of the heart and presents the anatomy, physiology, and images for each view to help readers hone their skills in the interpretation of echocardiograms. In some chapters, a case presentation is provided to help readers understand associated disease processes.

As cardiac ultrasound is a frequently used test to evaluate the heart and major vessels, it is important to have a comprehensive yet simple resource such as this atlas. For this reason, it is a go-to resource for general cardiologists and general cardiology fellows.
