Synopsis Designed for primary care physicians and physicians in specialties other than cardiology, Echocardiography in Clinical Practice provides clear, expert guidance on when echocardiographic assessment is and is not appropriate. It provides guidelines that adhere to the most recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association indications for echocardiography. The book opens with a summary of indications for echocardiography followed by coverage of echocardiographic techniques, normal ranges and variants, suspected heart failure, pat ients with murmurs, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke, transient ischemic attack and peripheral emboli, myocardial infarction, and pericardial disease. You get concise, at-a-glance information, numerous color illustrations, and state-of-the-art echocardiographic data. Most books on this subject are written from a technical standpoint. But the use of echocardiography long ago expanded beyond the boundaries of the specialized cardiac unit. General physicians, general practitioners, and primary care physicians now request an increasing proportion of studies and need to know what clinical questions modern echocardiography can answer. Echocardiography in Clinical Practice provides this information and more.
