About the Author :
The authors are all internationally renowned experts in echocardiography and have considerable experience in training echocardiography staff in all aspects of best practice.

Review :
From the reviews: "The intended audience includes sonographers and echocardiographers. ! Extensive topics ranging from the physics of echocardiography, to three-dimensional echocardiography, to the use of echocardiography to assess heart transplants are well covered. ! a wonderfully thorough resource for echocardiography board review. ! Readers who prefer an atlas or outline format you will find this to be an excellent resource for echocardiography. The topics it covers are important and wide-ranging, and the information is presented succinctly and with full-color, highly detailed, albeit small, images." (David J. Homan, Doody's Review Service, February, 2012)
