Description

This comprehensive text covers all the various ultrasonographic modalities used in assessing cardiac function in the adult and child. Divided into three sections, this book has the advantage of gathering together both scientific and clinical information on all aspects of the imaging modality and describes their use in adults and children. The volume is unique in the sense that it aims to provide the cardiologist with all the echocardiographic information needed to evaluate and assess the problems of every patient presenting to him.
