Libri di Albert C. Perrino

Covering both the science behind transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and its uses for monitoring and diagnosis, Perrino and Reeves’ Practical Approach to Transesophageal Echocardiography, Fifth Edition, provides the information you need for all levels of transesophageal echocardiography usage and testing. Expertly edited by Drs. Albert C. Perrino, Jr, Scott T. Reeves, Joshua M. Zimmerman and Chirojit Mukherjee, this concisely written manual features numerous figures and review questions in every chapter, allowing you to quickly digest and apply critical information in actual clinical settings. Covers key topics such as 2D imaging, Doppler echo, valvular disease, and specific clinical challenges Features more than 300 end of chapter multiple-choice review questionswith answers and rationales as well as over 400 clinical and procedural video clips. Discusses common artifacts and pitfalls, as well as techniques and tricks for optimizing TEE images Contains valuable appendices covering cardiac cross section criteria, cardiac dimensions, hemodynamic calculations, valve prostheses, and more Shares the knowledge and expertise of two new editors: Joshua Zimmerman of the University of Utah School of Medicine and Chirojit Mukherjee of Helios Park Clinic in Germany

"The Practice of Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography" provides over 100 teaching cases ranging from the most common to the most challenging. Each case is succinctly presented in an easy-to-read question-answer, self-test format comprised of three printed pages of text and echo images. Echocardiography technique, interpretation, and case management are emphasized by internationally recognized experts in the field. The cases are organized to cover the gamut of clinical challenges faced by perioperative echocardiographers, including disorders of the aorta, left ventricle, and right ventricle, valvular heart disease, congenital heart lesions, catheter and device placement, and unsuspected masses and thrombi. Case challenges related to technical issues such as image optimization and artifacts are also addressed. The versatility of TEE is represented by 2-D, 3-D, color flow and spectral Doppler, tissue Doppler imaging, and quantitative assessments of volumes, pressures, and the severity of valvular pathologies. There is a companion website that contains the fully searchable text plus echocardiographic video clips for each case presented in the book.
