Echocardiography : a practical guide for reporting and interpretation
Demetrescu, Camelia
Echocardiography : a practical guide for reporting and interpretation - 4th ed. - Boca Raton, FL ; London CRC Press, 2024. - 250 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Defining the study -- Left ventricular dimensions and function -- Acute coronary syndrome -- The right ventricle -- Pulmonary pressure and pulmonary hypertension -- The atria and atrial septum -- Cardiomyopathies -- Aortic valve disease -- Mitral valve disease -- Right-sided valve disease -- Mixed valve disease -- Prosthetic heart valves -- Endocarditis -- The Heart valve clinic -- The aorta and dissection -- Adult congenital disease -- Pericardial disease -- Masses -- Echocardiography in acute and critical care medicine -- General clinical requests (Murmur, heart failure, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, cocaine, HIV, neuromuscular diseases, inflammatory diseases, hypereosinophilia, drugs causing valvopathy, radiation).
This book sets echocardiography within a routine clinical context. It aims to synthesize guidelines into a pragmatic clinical approach to real patients providing a step-by-step guide to performing, reporting and interpreting a study. Written with the imagination of the calm voice of a senior echocardiographer teaching a junior, this edition has been extensively revised with an expansion of sections on acute, intensive care and emergency medicine. COVID-19 has necessitated limiting exposure of both patient and operator to infection and also caused a huge increase in waiting lists. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between clinicians and echocardiographers.
