Description
This book offers both experienced cardiologists and trainees alike the opportunity to identify and address the most common pitfalls encountered
with echocardiology in routine clinical practice. The book covers a series of challenges ranging from technical difficulties to problems
with echocardiographic interpretation with each section presenting a series of simulations to test the reader's understanding of the
problem. The text is written in a highly practical and didactic style which will help the busy physician by presenting the information
in a succinct, 'essentials only' manner. The heavy use of high-quality illustrations serves to ensure that the concepts explained are
supported by real-life examples and thus readily applicable to the clinical setting.
