I am an electrophysiologist in a practice that requires me to read echocardiograms. I went ten years in between fellowship and now without looking critically at a transthoracic echo. This 2 card set is incredibly helpful for interpreting simple, common findings for the practitioner who doesn't read enough echocardiograms to have memorized. Grade I - IV diastolic dysfunction parameters, degree of valvular insufficiency by pressure half time, expected gradients across prosthetic valves of different sizes (is a 20 mm mean gradient across a 19mm Bjork Shiley aortic valve normal? - maybe. I have no idea. Rather than digging through your partner's Feigenbaum or Otto - it's on the card!). This resource easily saves me a couple of hours a week.

How much material on echocardiography can you cram onto two cards? They do a great job putting most of the major diagnostic criteria and measurements in an easy to use format without sacrificing to too much clutter. I have always been a fan of these type of review cards -- I own probalby 2 dozen various cards -- and this one is definitely at the top for ease of use.

A lot of tables and numbers to remind you what normal valves and heart measurements should be. Great pic of MV cusps, ASE wall segments, and waveforms.

This is a well made handy refrence for echo particularly for starters who are starting out to learn echo.

I thought very useful. Though it's not complete it contains practically all you need on a day by day basis. It helps a lot for its simplicity and references.

This card is very valuable, it has everything you need when it comes to your measurements and numbers concerning Echos. It fits nicely in your pocket to carry around with you and it's a great learning tool for those in school or just graduating.

This is an amazing tool! Up to date measurements! I am ording more for my students for their graduation packets!! Highly recomended!

There is alot of good information on these cards. They are very handy to keep at work.

This handy reference tool is not for students; it would be most useful for working echocardiography technicians.

good accumulation of guidelines and normal values in an ever confusing world of doppler echo. definitely useful for echo labs, techs, fellows and even practicing cardiologists.
