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.

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.

Well written and easy to understand. Many TTE references are less useful to a beginner in TEE without much TTE experience.

This book has always been regarded as the 'bible' of echocardiography. I disagree. Although it is very comprehensive, I have found a few errors (either in formulas or diagrams) throughout the book. This is very disturbing as it should not happen in a book as highly regarded as this. For someone who is learning echocardiography, this book is not written in a way easiest to understand. Often, description are complex and bit around the bush. I had to re-write some parts to make it easier to comprehend. Coupled with the errors found, I have wasted considerable amount of time to make the best of this book. An echocardiography expert could have easily pointed out the errors. For a learner, when the formulas/diagram don't match or make sense, one often spend hours trying to work out why, look up in google etc, only to find that it is an error in the book.

Has all the necessary information about echo as long as your not looking to read about 3-D. For the price, its worth it.

Pictures are awesome. The reading is not the easiest for the normal everyday person, but it is very informative. Love this book!

The layout and the text itself is very methodical and organized.

The images and online support website which has e-text is awesome to import and use images for presentations.

Overall book is a must for someone who wats to master non0invasive imaging.

This is a great textbook for reference purposes as well as a study guide for the registry. The images are great. Each section is well organized and is well written to make understanding things alot easier.

I like very much Dr. Otto's books. She was in Brazil last month and I saw her new book. I decided to buy it by the Amazon because I recieved it in my place; I can paid by credit card; and I have an account with this sote that is working well so far.

Good book for new cardiology fellows. Gives good over view of practical aspects of echo.
