herausgegeben von Andro G. Kacharava, Alexander T. Gedevanishvili, Guram G. Imnadze, Dimitri M. Tsverava und Craig M. BrodskyWith its easy accessibility, low cost, and ability to deliver, essential bedside information about the cardiac structure andfunction, echocardiography has become one of the most relied-upondiagnostic tools in clinical medicine. As a result, more cliniciansthan ever before must be able to accurately interpretechocardiographic information in order to administer appropriatetreatment.
Based on the authors' experience teaching echocardiographyin busy clinical settings, this new pocketbook provides reliableguidance on everyday clinical cardiac ultrasound and theinterpretation of echocardiographic images. It has been designed tohelp readers develop a stepwise approach to the interpretation of astandard transthoracic echocardiographic study and teach how tomethodically gather and assemble the most important informationfrom each of the standard echocardiographic views in order togenerate a complete final report of the study performed.
What's included:
* A summary of TTE examination protocol and acomprehensive listing of useful formulas and normal values
* Atrial and ventricular dimensions, LV and RVsystolic function, LV diastolic patterns
* Echocardiographic findings in the most commonlyencountered cardiac diseases and disorders, including variouscardiomyopathies, cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, valvular heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, infectiveendocarditis, and congenital heart disease
* Companion website with video clips and over 70self-assessment questions
Packed with essential information and designed for quick look-up, this pocketbook will be of great assistance for anyone who works inbusy clinical settings and who needs a ready and reliable guide tointerpreting echocardiographic information to help deliver optimalpatient care.
