Most Helpful Customer Reviews 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Echo Text, September 13, 2007 By  MP (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews 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. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars an authoratative text, October 14, 2002 By  Dr. Manan vasenwala Md, mrcpuk (ALIGARH, UTTAR PRADESH India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    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 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, comprehensive, nicely updated, December 7, 2006 By  quickCT (a red state, USA) - See all my reviews Great for the echo basics and reference.
