Essential Echocardiography: A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease, edited by Scott D. Solomon MD, is a clinically oriented text that helps practitioners make the most of echocardiography’s diagnostic and prognostic potential for their patients. As part of the highly regarded Braunwald’s family of cardiology references, this book covers basic principles of anatomy and physiology, normal variants across a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, and hands-on approaches necessary to acquire and interpret optimal echocardiographic images in the clinical setting.
Abundant illustrations provide a superb visual learning experience both in print and online. Images convey clear, classic examples that represent decades of experience over multiple institutions, as well as recent advances in the field. More than 485 accompanying video clips mirror the images in the text, with easy-to-follow links from the figure citation to the video online.
Each section includes one or two clinical cases that illustrate key concepts. Written by expert echocardiographers and sonographers who emphasize practical applications throughout the text, and superbly illustrated by physician-artist Dr. Bernard Bulwer, this book is an essential resource for anyone working in cardiology.
