Description

The Practice of Echocardiography provides a complete, up-to- date discussion of all aspects of clinical echocardiography. Noted authorites in this field have contributed chapters on such topics as physics, instrumentation, techniques, M-mode and two- dimensional echocardiography and the new advances in Doppler and hand-held two-dimensional instrumentation. This book is an outgrowth of the cardiology section published in The Handbook of Clinical Ultrasound. The material included is meant to provide cardiologists, internists, echocardiographers and students studying these disciplines with the important aspects of clinical echocardiography. It is not meant to be an encyclopedic review of the available literature.
