Product Description
Finally, a resource that takes full advantage of modern technology! In a major advance for pediatric cardiology, this text/DVD set covers ultrasound physics; laboratory set-up; a protocol for a standard pediatric echocardiogram; quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function; in-depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations; acquired pediatric heart disease; and topics of special interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography.
From the Back Cover
Echocardiography is essential in the practice of pediatric cardiology. A clinical pediatric cardiologist is expected to be adept at the non-invasive diagnosis of congenital heart disease and those who plan to specialize in echocardiography will need to have knowledge of advanced techniques.
Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease addresses the needs of trainees and practitioners in this field, filling a void caused by the lack of material in this fast-growing area. This new title comprehensively covers the echocardiographic assessment of congenital heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, plus acquired heart disease in children.
Topics covered include:
- ultrasound physics
- laboratory set-up
- a protocol for a standard pediatric echocardiogram
- quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function
- in depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations
- acquired pediatric heart disease
- topics of special interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography
The approach of this book is a major advancement for educational materials in the field of pediatric cardiology, and greatly enhances the experience for the reader. An accompanying DVD with moving images of the subjects covered in the textbook will further enhance the learning experience.

A must have for the pediatric echocardiographer, Nov 25 2009
By Kjetil Lenes "Ekko" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease: From Fetus to Adult (Hardcover)
This is a truly exelent book, a lot of precise information in a relatively small space. The format of each section is the same through-out, and makes it fairly easy to find the relevant information. The first chapters, on equipment, standards and the ewxamination is also of a high standard. While I don't agree on every statement everywhere the chapters are well referenced and the pertinent points clearly made so this book should be a good fundament for further discussions in the echo labs.If you are going to by just one book on this subject, this should be it.

Great pediatric echo text, Feb 19 2012

This review is from: Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease: From Fetus to Adult (Hardcover)
This book has become my primary echo textbook and does a nice job of explaining the elements needed in a complete study of the main congenital heart defects. So far, every lesion that I've wanted was included in the book except aortic insufficiency and aortopulmonary window. Otherwise, I feel like it's a pretty complete and current book. There's a nice section on basic ultrasound physics, also. The accompanying disc has nice sample clips, but I feel like there should be an option to view these clips online, as well.
