Editorial Reviews for Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography: Expert Consult - Online and Print
|
The fourth edition of Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography presents an accessible primer on this complex topic from Dr. Catherine Otto, one of the foremost teachers and writers in the field. You'll find straightforward explanations of the basics of ultrasound physics, image acquisition, and all the major techniques and major disease categories, as well as the latest on advanced echo techniques-such as contrast echo, 3D echo, and myocardial mechanics (strain rate imaging, speckle tracking, and synchrony). Each chapter-including a new one on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography-features a practical outline called The Echo Exam, ideal for understanding the use of echo and its outcomes. State-of-the-art echo images are complemented by full-color comparative drawings of heart structures. And now, you can access the full text online thanks to Expert Consult functionality.
- Covers all main diseases, including adult congenital heart disease, with a problem-based approach to echocardiography.
- Reviews basic principles for evaluation, the echocardiographic approach, differential diagnosis, limitations, and technical considerations for each disease, as well as alternate diagnostic approaches.
- Enables you to perform procedures correctly and recognize inadequate data with coverage of technical details for data acquisition and limitations of each echocardiographic approach.
- Emphasizes alternative diagnostic approaches to help you solve clinical problems when echocardiography does not provide a definitive answer.
- Includes The Echo Exam (a brief summary of how to do it, the necessary calculations, diagnosis and examples) as an appendix for review and reinforcement.
- Features a new chapter dedicated to intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, cross-referenced with other chapters, for coverage of this important and difficult technique.
- Covers myocardial mechanics-strain rate imagine, speckle tracking, and synchrony-in the advanced modalities, in addition to contrast and 3D echo.
- Integrates TTE and TEE images more explicitly into each chapter to discuss the two techniques in parallel and give you clear explanations of the pros, cons, and the role of each modality in patient evaluation.
- Includes new digital images throughout-with more TEE, more echocardiograms, and color diagrams-so you can easily identify cardiac problems.
- Presents the latest ASE recommendations for chamber quantification, including updated tables of normal measurements, for convenient reference.
- Provides online access to the full text of the book through Expert Consult functionality.

Summary: THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH ANY VENDOR ON THE INTERNET EVER!
Comment: I accidentally ordered the wrong text book (my fault). I wanted to return the book and purchase the other or do a simple exchange. I attempted to contact the company thru this web site, then looked at packaging slip (there was no phone number available. Ultimately after multiple emails sent, with no response, I disputed the charge with the credit card company. Wouldn't you know it they jumped all over it. Again i am simply asking amazon to contact them for a simple refund. According to their return policy a full refund is possible for 30 days, I emailed them within 4 days of purchase. In any event it has been since march and no resolution. No evalutaion was listed because it is generally not my style to hurt anyones livelyhood. The book is still in its original wrapping and untouched, hopefully upon reading this they will do the right thing and fix the situation. If I could rate below a 1 I would.

Summary: Unsatified
Comment: As of yet, I still have not received my item. It is past delivery a whole week. No responses to my emails. I am requesting a refund!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very helpful extra book.
Comment: It is always OK to use more than one book for study of a subject but for ECHO Feigenbaums is the bible. The 6th edition is a great book and DVD-ROM. Recommended for all levels of echocardiologists.
Ottos book is a helpful extra book. If you want to stick to one book get Feigenbaum's.
Customer Rating:
Summary: CV Anesthesiologist
Comment: Well written and easy to understand. Many TTE references are less useful to a beginner in TEE without much TTE experience.
Customer Rating:
Summary: useful but waiting for the new edition
Comment: I found this book is useful for all the cardiology trainee as it is well written, easy to understood and there is many figures. However, it did not mention the new technology in the field of echocardiography such as the tissue doppler, contrast echo. I hope the next edition will include this and the illustrations will be more colorful.
