Overview

A complete, full-color clinical manual and review of TEE

Clinical Manual and Review of Transesophageal Echocardiography 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.

Features:

• Addresses all the important clinical and technical issues and major exam topics
• Enhanced anatomic representation of ultrasound imaging planes
• Increased number of chapter-ending review questions
• An effective blend of narrative text and bulleted text, charts, and graphs speeds access to key clinical information
