"This is an excellent primer for those starting out in echocardiography and even those who have been doing it for a while. It's clearly written by someone who is near enough to the front end of their training that they remember what others find or may find difficult to understand. The text is extremely readable with useful illustrations and good quality images." BMA Medical Book Awards - Highly Commended Award "This [is a] well organized, structured and concisely written book! This volume represents a highly recommendable introduction to the exciting world of echocardiography." European Journal of Radiology |
