Main description:

Echocardiography is increasingly becoming a more dynamic diagnostic procedure. Two-dimensional echocardiograms, while not rare, are certainly becoming less common as the technologies and techniques allow echocardiographers to take videos of the echo procedure. No book has yet harnessed the ability of an attached DVD to present the findings of a 4D echocardiogram and this represents the complete requirements for observing how echocardiograms can show cardiac anatomy and physiology over time. The book is designed to be: all-encompassing; thorough; comprehensive; and, complete.
