Product Description
In recent years, transesophageal echocardiography has become one of the most exciting imaging modalities in modern clinical cardiology. Single plane and biplane transducers are now making way for multiplane transesophageal echocardiography. Atlas of Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography provides a comprehensive analysis of cardiac imaging. The text explains how to measure and interpret cardiac chamber sizes and function. Transesophageal echocardiographic images are juxtaposed with top-quality anatomic specimens, nearly 3000 images in total, to give a clear understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy.
From the Back Cover
In recent years, transesophageal echocardiography has become one of the most exciting imaging modalities available in modern clinical cardiology. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography is the result of the evolution of echocardiography from single plane and biplane transducers over the past decade.
Atlas of Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography provides cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and cardiac surgeons with a comprehensive analysis of cardiac imaging from the authors' experience of having performed over 15,000 transesophageal echocardiograms.
Using a consistent format throughout, each chapter commences with normal cardiac structure and function followed by abnormalities. There are concise explanations for measuring and interpreting cardiac chamber sizes and function. Transesophageal echocardiographic images are juxtaposed with top quality correlative anatomic specimens, nearly 3000 images in total, to give a clear understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy.
