From the Back Cover

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, and includes guidelines that adhere to the most recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association indications for echocardiography.

Opening with a summary of indications for echocardiography, the work also includes coverage of echocardiographic techniques, normal ranges and variants, suspected heart failure, patients with murmurs, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke, transient ischemic attack and peripheral emboli, myocardial infarction, and pericardial disease.

With concise, at-a-glance information, numerous color illustrations, and state-of-the-art echocardiographic data, this is a highly useful text for general physicians, general practitioners, and primary care physicians who need to know what clinical questions modern echocardiography can answer.
