The fourth edition of this clinical echocardiography textbook offers an accessible introduction to the subject from Dr. Catherine Otto, a leading expert. It provides clear explanations of ultrasound physics, image acquisition, and major techniques, alongside advanced echo methods like contrast echo, 3D echo, and myocardial mechanics (including strain rate imaging and speckle tracking). Each chapter features a practical outline called The Echo Exam, enhancing understanding of echocardiography and its outcomes. Full-color images and comparative drawings of heart structures are included, with online access to the full text via Expert Consult. The book addresses all major diseases, including adult congenital heart disease, using a problem-based approach. It reviews basic evaluation principles, echocardiographic techniques, differential diagnoses, and technical considerations, while emphasizing alternative diagnostic methods when echocardiography is inconclusive. A new chapter focuses on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, cross-referenced throughout for clarity. The integration of TTE and TEE images allows for a comprehensive discussion of both modalities. Updated ASE recommendations for chamber quantification, including normal measurement tables, are provided for easy reference. Online access is included with the purchase, valid until the next edition is released or the current edition is no longer available.
