Sommario/riassunto

This proposed book would cover all aspects of basic echocardiography: the nuts and bolts of ultrasound imaging, all of the views involved in an echocardiogram, step by step guides on how to perform all basic calculations and the normal/abnormal ranges for such calculations, descriptions of views/calculations to perform in any cardiac emergency situations. More importantly, it will include specific diagnostic algorithms fitted to address the differential diagnosis in a variety clinical scenarios. This book is aimed at everybody who is learning to perform and interpret echocardiograms.
