Description

Formerly titled Cross-Sectional Echocardiography , the Second Edition of Dr. Weyman's pioneering text is almost twice the size of the original. This edition includes both pulsed and continuous wave Doppler, color flow mapping, and M-mode echocardiography, in addition to superb, updated coverage of cross-sectional echocardiography
