Echocardiography Summary

Echocardiography: A Practical Guide for Reporting and Interpretation, Third Edition by John Chambers (Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals, London, UK)

Echocardiography: A Practical Guide for Reporting and Interpretation is a step-by-step guide to clinical echocardiography.

This new edition has been extensively revised and includes new international guidelines, grading criteria and normal data. The book presents an up-to-date discussion of echocardiography use in both acute and critical care settings and provides increased guidance for clinical interpretation, including how echocardiography can help inform surgical decisions. In addition, the content has been extended, particularly in the consideration of valve disease and cardiomyopathies.

Providing a pragmatic approach to clinical echocardiography, the book also covers examples of conditions requiring urgent clinical advice. It contains a summary of formulae as well as supporting online images and videos.

Echocardiography Reviews

My interpretation is that the authors have clearly achieved their ambition to produce a small but comprehensive, inexpensive practical and reference aid for Echocardiographers of all grades of experience. I consider that this book should be available within all Echo departments and additionally I strongly recommend all Echocardiographers to have their own personal copy. - Dr Gordon Williams, BSE Newsletter

Technological advances and broadened knowledge about the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases have made echocardiography a very important part of the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disorders. This book differs from the classic textbooks and instead is an easy-to-read, step-by-step guidebook. It will serve as a valuable resource when echocardiographers need quick and practical information. - Ahmet Afsin Oktay, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation), Doody's Book Review Service
