Description

Intracardiac echocardiography is a relatively new ultrasound modality that allows visualization of the heart from within the heart, using a small ultrasound transducer mounted onto a flexible and steerable catheter placed within one of the cardiac chambers. It allows for diagnostic and therapeutic information to be obtained during heart catheterization and electrophysiologic procedures, and has radically changed the way these procedures are being performed - making them safer, faster, and more effective. Currently no echocardiographic textbooks cover ICE to any degree. This book, the first of its kind, covers all aspects of intracardiac ultrasound. It will allow readers to become expert at both ICE image acquisition and help guide interpretation of this information during interventional and electrophysiologic procedures.
