About this book
Echocardiography is a versatile imaging modality that can be performed at the
bedside to promptly provide reliable anatomic and functional information useful
for the management of patients with heart disease. There have been many technological
advances in echocardiography, resulting in an improvement in image quality and
new insights into cardiac mechanics. In order to fully appreciate and utilize
these advances, it is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of the cardiac
anatomy and how this relates to echocardiography. For instance, mitral valve
repair is now the surgical method of choice for the treatment of patients with
degenerative mitral valve disease and severe mitral regurgitation, but it requires
excellent understanding of the mitral valvular and subvalvular anatomy to allow
selection of appropriate patients and the detection of complications associated
with the surgical repair. Anatomic Basis of Echocardiographic Diagnosis provides
a systematic approach in the clinical application of echocardiography based
on a comprehensive understanding of cardiac anatomy and pathology. Covered within
are discussions on general cardiac anatomy, normal variants and the orientation
of the heart in the thorax and its effect on the acoustic windows. Later sections
cover diseases that affect various cardiac structures, such as the valves, the
myocardium and the pericardium, and examine specific clinical settings in which
echocardiography plays a pivotal role in the differential diagnosis and clinical
management. Examples that incorporate echocardiographic images with pathologic
correlations are included in every chapter, evidence of the importance of collaborative
effort between echocardiographer and pathologist. Also included are many 3D
echocardiographic images to highlight normal and abnormal findings, as well
as numerous pathologic images providing anatomic correlates of the echocardiographic
findings. The nearly 700 images have been carefully selected to illustrate key
findings, and thus the book can serve equally well as an atlas and should be
a useful resource to sonographers, cardiology trainees, internists and cardiologists.
