Description
Book SynopsisAn echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of the heart. This common test allows a doctor to see the heart beating and pumping blood, and subsequently identify heart disease.
This book is a complete guide to performing and interpreting an echocardiogram. 56 chapters describe both basic and advanced techniques for diagnosing different heart disorders.
The second edition has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments and techniques in the field.
Seven new chapters have been added to this edition covering echocardiography and artificial intelligence, hypertension, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, Kawasaki disease, cardio-oncology, diabetes mellitus, and foetal echo.
Dedicated chapters emphasise the role of echo in surgical procedures, and explore its use with electrophysiology – in patients with pacemakers and those undergoing cardiac resynchronisation therapy.
The book is highly illustrated with many 2D and 3D echo images helping explain the descriptive text for each topic.
The previous edition (9789352700929) published in 2017.
