Overview

This book provides readers with extensive information on the interaction between echocardiography and the clinical management of patients. In doing so it helps readers to 'cross the barrier' and describes the common ground between physiologic disturbances and their management which should ideally form the shared basis for understanding and managing all cardiac problems. A practical review of the many uses of echocardiography in clinical practice, this new edition of Clinical Echocardiography integrates and refines the investigation of cardiac disorders within the framework of the physiologic, pathologic, clinical and surgical appearances of heart disease. It has been common to consider echocardiographic findings separately from the more physical aspects of heart disease. However, with the development of new imaging modalities such as three- and four-dimensional echocardiography, it is now necessary to consider this imaging as a window on the heart. This comprehensive book aids the cardiologist, cardiac surgeon and echocardiographer to integrate their knowledge within the overall management of cardiac disease in a clinically relevant manner.
