Editorial Reviews for The Practice of Clinical Echocardiography

As the field of echocardiography has evolved, the role of the echocardiographer has shifted toward providing an integrated assessment of echocardiographic data in conjunction with other clinical data in each patient. THE PRACTICE OF CLINICAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, 2ND EDITION addresses this change in focus with an emphasis on the clinical roles of health care professionals with specialized expertise in this field. Each chapter provides an advanced level of instruction, written by an expert in the field, building upon the basic material in Otto's companion volume, TEXTBOOK OF CLINICAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, 2ND EDITION. It provides up-to-date, relevant information on not only the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of echocardiographic images and Doppler flow data, but also on how this information might affect clinical decision making.

Summary: correlative echocardiography
Comment: echocardiography examination has to take the clinical picture into consideration. the echo-diagnosis has to be in a sense a clinical diagnosis. thus echocardiography is a specialised cardiology consultation. this is the underlying philosophy of 11 edition of practice of clinical echocardiography. the chapters are written to address different clinical situations. the chapter on vulvular regurgitations deals with the different patho-physiology of mitral and aortic regurgitaions... what is contractile dysfunction and which echo parameters detect it. finally what type of surgery is more successful, for instance chordal sparing valve replacement or reconstruction.
the chapter on hypertension is also remarkable on clarity. in fact it is futuristic and visualises ,the nature of treatment, nutritional or drugs therapy, based on echocardiography.
next how to proceed with a case of atrial fibrillation, or systemic embolisation or endocarditis. in fact all clinical situations are described in details which is astonishing and with different perpective compared to available texts on echocardiography.it is a change in focus, towards integrated and correlative approach to echocardiography.
