Backed by your most respected colleagues at the Mayo Clinic! The Second Edition of this very popular technical manual guides you through the techniques, diagnostic criteria, and quantitative methods of both echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography. You'll appreciate the straightforward approaches to special clinical problems, hints on optimal techniques, and easy-to-follow diagnostic criteria for interpreting images. Plus, more than 500 illustrations -- well annotated and true to gray scale and color -- give you an immediate grasp of salient points. "The strength of The Echo Manual is the breadth of its synopsis in a readable and enjoyable form." (Anesthesiology, review of the last edition)

Great Echo Text,
By MP (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Echo Manual (Hardcover)
I have recently completed fellowship and have recently taken the cardiology boards.
Over the last year I have used/borrowed the textbooks by Weyman, Feigenbaum, Otto, and have owned the most recent baby Otto. The Echo Manual is the best single source for a new cardiology fellow and for anyone studying for the Echo boards. The clarity, depth, and breadth in such are small package are not matched by any of the other books. It has excellent diagrams and tables. It does a great job of covering complex topics such as diastology, constriction vs restriction, and congenital heart disease. The Weyman is out of print. The big Otto is too big for board review. The baby Otto is too simple to be of help to fellows and techs. The Feigenbaum is a good book and it comes with a DVD of examples. However, the Echo Manual simply covers the topics better. It works great as a board-review book and just as great as a reference. If you only have room for one book in your budget, I would recommend this book. Cons: No DVD. Mayo displays the R and L heart in reverse of everyone else. Text can be dense. Overall, these are minor gripes.

This review is from: The Echo Manual (Hardcover)
the second edition of the manual is the work of three big maestros. the first chapter is an overview which is about man and machine. thereafter follow chapters on acquisition of images, transthoracic and trans esophageal. the two chapters on hemodynamic assessment and vulvular heart diseases are astonishingly lucid. other chapters are fundamentally excellent.the book concludes on an all important chapter on correlative echocardiography.in toto, this manual is small in size but large in authority.manan

This review is from: The Echo Manual (Hardcover)
This is an ideal text for a general cardiology fellow. Just the right level of detail. Mayo way of displaying images can be a bit frustrating for those in other institutions that do not use the Mayo format.
