Feigenbaum'S Echocardiography

For the updated sixth edition of this classic text, Dr. Feigenbaum is joined by two distinguished co-authors, William F. Armstrong, MD and Thomas Ryan, MD. Though thoroughly revised, the text retains its original intent to provide clinically relevant and proven applications of echocardiography. Organised by clinical applications, the book includes practical guidelines on the most appropriate echocardiographic studies for a given clinical problem. Its features are: comprehensive, clinically relevant coverage; and correlates which echocardiographic studies are most appropriate for given clinical problems. New to this edition are: a bound-in DVD provides more than 30 minutes of video cases supplementing the text; new chapters include - History of Ultrasound in Cardiology, Echocardiographic Techniques and Methods, Stress Echocardiography, Perioperative Echo and ICU Applications, The Heart in Systemic Disease, and Echocardiographic Evaluation of Specific Clinical Situations; a discussion of tumours has been added to the cardiac masses chapter; 5 separate chapters on acquired valvular heart disease - tricuspid and pulmonic valves, endocarditis, prosthetic valves, aortic valve disease and mitral valve disease; and 2 chapters covering the cardiac chambers - Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic, and Evaluation of the Right Ventricle.
