Clinical Manual and Review of Transesophageal Echocardiography

The perfect resource for understanding the technologic and medical considerations of cardiac echocardiography

Clinical Manual and Review of Transesophageal Echocardiography, Third Edition offers concise yet comprehensive coverage of the key principles, concepts, and developing practice of TEE. Each chapter provides a summary of the physiology, pathophysiology, tomographic views, and the required two-dimensional, M-Mode, and Doppler echocardiography data for a number of common disease states. Important clinical information is integrated with the principles of cardiovascular physiology.

Presented in full-color, the book has been hailed for its effective blend of narrative and bulleted text, and abundance of charts and graphs that speed readers to important clinical information. The Third Edition has been updated to better align with the TEE board certification examination, and for greater emphasis on perioperative (outside the operating room) echocardiography.
