Armstrong. Feigenbaum's Echocardiography, 8e

In diagnostic cardiology, the effectiveness and reliability of state-of-the-art echocardiography is unsurpassed but-as with all ultrasound examinations-the results are highly operator dependent. The second edition of Boehmeke's Pocket Atlas of Echocardiography is concise and portable, including all the information necessary to perform and read echocardiograms, and to navigate the bewildering number of imaging planes that transect the heart, with ease and confidence.

L’ultrasonografia rappresenta oggi un campo in costante e progressiva evoluzione grazie all’introduzione dell’ecocardiografia tridimensionale real time, attraverso il TDI, lo strain rate e lo speckle tracking.
Questo volume si prefigge l’arduo compito di rappresentare, raffigurare e spiegare tutte le metodiche ecocardiografiche focalizzando l’attenzione sulle singole strutture cardiache sia in condizioni di normalità che in quelle patologiche.

Concise, portable, and user-friendly, The Washington Manual® of Echocardiography, Second Edition focuses on the essential information you need to know to successfully perform and read echocardiograms, as well as to identify valvular heart disease, cardiac myopathies, and congenital anomalies.  Supervised and edited by faculty from the Washington University School of Medicine, this highly regarded reference has been completely updated throughout, with a new, streamlined layout as well more echo clips, and an update on the current guidelines.  You’ll find expert guidance, practical tips, and up-to-date information on all aspects of echocardiography – all in one convenient and easily accessible source.

Thoroughly updated for its Third Edition, this best-selling manual is a practical guide to the performance, interpretation, and clinical applications of echocardiography. The Echo Manual is written by recognized authorities at the Mayo Clinic and provides a concise, user-friendly summary of techniques, diagnostic criteria, and quantitative methods for both echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography. Discussion of each clinical problem also includes transesophageal echocardiography.
This edition covers the latest techniques, standards, and applications and includes new contrast agents. All references have been updated. More than 900 images—well annotated and true to gray scale and color—give readers an immediate grasp of salient points.

Clinical Manual ad Review

Today’s echocardiography continues to be a widely available, minimal-risk procedure with the potential to yield a vast amount of detailed, precise anatomic and physiologic information. Dr. Catherine Otto’s Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, 7th Edition, clearly outlines how to master the core principles of echocardiographic imaging in order to make an initial diagnosis and integrate this data in clinical decision making for patients with a wide range of cardiovascular diseases.

Questo manuale rappresenta il punto di riferimento per tutti gli utilizzatori di queste metodiche, perché è stato concepito per coprire tutti gli aspetti più avanzati della diagnostica morfofunzionale cardiovascolare, selezionando brillantemente i più dedicati esperti di vari settori, e contemporaneamente mantenendo una ben concertata regia unitaria, focalizzata sul ragionamento fisiopatologico e sulla centralità dell'ammalato. Ritengo infatti che il ragionamento fisiopatologico non possa essere sostituibile da "valori soglia" e standardizzazione dei percorsi diagnostico-terapeutici, uguali per grossi strati di pazienti.
