Echocardiography today offers a safe and readily available procedure with the capability to generate an abundance of precise anatomic and physiological data. With the 7th Edition of Dr. Catherine Otto’s Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, you are guided on how to master the fundamental principles of echocardiographic imaging. It’s the key to making an initial diagnosis and integrating this data into clinical decision-making for patients with various cardiovascular diseases. This best-selling text is perfect for cardiology fellows, medicine residents, and cardiac sonography students. It imparts all the vital components of ultrasound physics, tomographic and 3D anatomy, image acquisition, advanced imaging technologies, and disease-specific application – all presented via a practical, problem-solving approach.
The textbook:
– Focuses on the core concepts you need to grasp to perform and interpret echocardiographic studies and to excel in your board exams.
– Incorporates updated clinical knowledge, new guidelines, and recent breakthroughs in echocardiographic imaging, including enhancements in handheld devices, specialized echo applications, and technical details of image collection.
– Covers all advanced echo techniques such as contrast echo, 3D echo, and myocardial mechanics, as well as intraoperative and intra-procedural transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
– Provides an enriched understanding of the clinical applications of specific echocardiographic findings, and discusses alternative diagnostic approaches when echocardiography does not offer a definitive answer.
– Offers an in-depth, essential explanation of the physics behind echocardiography and its applications in a clinical setting. Includes Echo Math boxes in each chapter for quick review and better understanding, updated evidence tables validating echo parameters, and an Echo Exam summary at the end of each chapter.
– Features full-color anatomic drawings of heart structures matched with the 2D and 3D echocardiographic views, and includes dozens of new illustrations throughout the text.
– Pairs top-tier echo images with over
