More About the Author
Catherine Otto is the J. Ward Kennedy-Hamilton Endowed Chair in Cardiology, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Cardiology Fellowship Training Programs at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington.
Dr. Otto is recognized as an expert on calcific aortic valve disease. Dr. Otto's research has transformed our understanding of this disease process, showing that it is an active disease process that may be amenable to medical therapy, rather than being an inevitable consequence of aging. Her research on the aortic valve includes validation of noninvasive measures of disease severity, the first prospective study of disease progression, immunohistologic studies establishing the cellular and molecular mechanisms of valve disease, epidemiologic studies defining the clinical risk factors associated with calcific valve disease and a landmark study demonstrating that even mild valve thickening, called aortic sclerosis, is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
In addition, Dr. Otto is the author of several cardiology books: The Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography (4th Edition), The Practice of Clinical Echocardiography (3rd Edition), Valvular Heart Disease (3rd Edition, co-edited by Robert O. Bonow, MD), Atlas of Intraoperative Echocardiography (with Don Oxorn) and the Echocardiography Review Guide ( 2nd Edition with Rosario Freeman and Becky Schwaegler). She also is a Cardiology Editor-in-Chief for the online medical textbook Up-to-Date.

useful but waiting for the new edition,
By A Customer
This review is from: Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography (Hardcover)
I found this book is useful for all the cardiology trainee as it is well written, easy to understood and there is many figures. However, it did not mention the new technology in the field of echocardiography such as the tissue doppler, contrast echo. I hope the next edition will include this and the illustrations will be more colorful.

This review is from: Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, 3e (Hardcover)
It is always OK to use more than one book for study of a subject but for ECHO Feigenbaums is the bible. The 6th edition is a great book and DVD-ROM. Recommended for all levels of echocardiologists.Ottos book is a helpful extra book. If you want to stick to one book get Feigenbaum's.

This review is from: Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, 3e (Hardcover)
Well written and easy to understand. Many TTE references are less useful to a beginner in TEE without much TTE experience.
