Pericardial disease -- Diseases of the aorta -- Section vii: diseases of the pulmonary artery and veins -- Pulmonary embolism -- Pulmonary hypertension -- Section VIII: Cardiac masses. Primary and secondary tumors -- Identification of intracardiac thrombus -- Other cardiac masses -- Section IX: Systemic diseases involving the heart. Echocardiography in infective endocarditis -- Other systemic diseases and the heart -- Echocardiography in malignant disease -- Section X: Congenital heart disease in the adult. Atrial septal defect -- Ventricular septal defect -- Other common congenital defects in adults -- Section XI: Miscellaneous topics in echocardiography. Handheld echocardiography -- Appropriate use of echocardiography -- Echocardiography in the context of other cardiac imaging modalities -- Transesophageal echocardiography for cardiac surgery -- Appendices. Reference tables -- Commonly utilized equations in echocardiography

Summary: Echocardiography remains the most commonly used imaging technique to visualize the heart and great vessels, and this clinically oriented text by Drs. Scott D. Solomon, Justina C. Wu, and Linda D. Gillam helps you make the most of its diagnostic and prognostic potential for your patients. Part of the highly regarded Braunwald's family of cardiology references, Essential Echocardiography expertly covers basic principles of anatomy and physiology, the appearance of normal variants across a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, and the hands-on approaches necessary to acquire and interpret optimal echocardiographic images in the clinical setting.
