Echo Made Easy |BEST|
Echocardiography (echo), the use of ultrasound to examine the heart, is a powerful and safe technique which is now widely available for cardiovascular investigation. This simple and highly praised text is a practical and clinically useful introduction to the subject. It aims to explain the echo techniques available, outlines what they are most suitable for, and most importantly puts echo into a clinical perspective. This book will be of value to all those who use or request echo, particularly doctors in training and medical students, but also physicians, surgeons, general practitioners, technicians, nurses and paramedics.
Echo Made Easy
This Third Edition takes full account of recent advances in echocardiography. A new chapter on performing and reporting an echo has been added. New text has been added on the role of echo in individuals with cancer and in diseases of the aorta. There are updated and expanded sections on pregnancy, the continuity equation, diastolic function, long-axis function and 3-D echo. There are also updates and more detailed sections on the use of echo in emergency situations, in cardiomyopathies and pericardial diseases, in congenital abnormalities and in cardiac resynchronization therapy. Up-to-date published international guidelines have been referenced throughout.
New online content is available in the form of echo video images with accompanying self-assessment questions which will allow the reader to carry out self-assessment of knowledge and to see examples of the echos described in the text.

Sam Kaddoura, BSc(Hons), BMBCh(Oxon), PhD, DIC, FRCP, FESC, FACC, is currently a Consultant Cardiologist at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and Royal Brompton Hospital, London. He is also an Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, London as well as an Honorary Senior Lecturer, Imperial College School of Medicine, London, UK. Dr Kaddoura trained at the University of Oxford, the University of London and in the USA. He has extensive clinical training in Cardiology and holds a PhD in cardiovascular research. Dr Kaddoura specializes in all aspects of general adult cardiology, but his passion lies in the field of echocardiography for which he is known internationally. He was an associate editor for the European Heart Journal, a university examiner and an educational supervisor for medical students and doctors. So he has plenty of experience with working with our primary audience. He has also published in the Lancet, Circulation, New England Journal of Medicine as well as being a part of the cardiovascular disease pathways working group at the Royal College of Physicians and on working groups for the European Society of Cardiology.
Modern popular music increasingly relies on more and more complicated and intricate equipment and algorithms to generate catchy tunes, but even decades ago this was still the case. The only difference between then and now was that most of the equipment in the past was analog instead of digital. For example, the humble tape echo was originally made by running a loop of magnetic tape over a recording head and then immediately playing it back. Old analog machines from that era are getting harder and harder to find, so [Adam Paul] decided to make his own.
Very very interesting. Many (most?) analog tape echoes use several playback heads to get more variations of echo sound. I also got a tape echo where one of the playback heads can be moved around to change the timing.
The book begins with an overview of the basic principles of ultrasound and Doppler and the clinical application of different echo-modalities including 2D Echo, M-mode Echo, Continuous Wave Doppler, and Pulsed Wave Doppler. Normal views and values are also detailed.
The following sections explain the use of echo in the diagnosis of different cardiac conditions such as congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, pulmonary hypertension and much more. Potential pitfalls in diagnosis and differentiation between similar findings are discussed in depth.
