Feigenbaum's Echocardiography Summary

Feigenbaum's Echocardiography by William F. Armstrong

The thoroughly revised Seventh Edition of Feigenbaum's Echocardiography reflects recent changes in the technology and clinical use of echocardiography. Highlights include over 1,600 illustrations, 600 in full color; detailed discussions on the use of three-dimensional echocardiography and perfusion imaging; and new information on the mechanics and utility of Strain and Strain rate imaging. Many new images complement the state-of-the-art information on technological advances. Current AHA/ACC guidelines are included for each chapter.
An accompanying DVD contains tutorials on echo interpretation with voiceover and animations. (DVD and DVD contents are not included with the Kindle version)
