The main goal of this book is to find the key roots for medical innovation by critically gauging our history and the past literature, rather than to take it for "granted" as we often do. The goal of this book is to promote a new pedagogy and culture that goes beyond the acquisition of notions, a culture that demands a critical and curious posture. These unalienable skills can be explicitly observed, throughout the chapters, by the strong historical grasp that this book proposes. The key value supported here is the consciousness and valorization of the roots of existing medical knowledge. It is only through analyzing and understanding those historical innovations that we can further develop existing cardiological methods. This book also proposes a vast interdisciplinary approach to specific medical diseases, rather than focusing on sectorial analysis. This approach, coupled with a strong analysis of the past academic achievements, positions this book as a "pivot" between the current methodological research and future medical explorations.  

Today’s echocardiography continues to be a widely available, minimal-risk procedure with the potential to yield a vast amount of detailed, precise anatomic and physiologic information. Dr. Catherine Otto’s Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, 7th Edition, clearly outlines how to master the core principles of echocardiographic imaging in order to make an initial diagnosis and integrate this data in clinical decision making for patients with a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. Ideal for cardiology fellows, medicine residents, and cardiac sonography students, this bestselling text teaches all the essential elements of ultrasound physics, tomographic and 3D anatomy, image acquisition, advanced imaging modalities, and application in specific disease categories-all with a practical, problem-based approach.

This is the seventh edition of a long-selling book (first edition 1991) that was translated into Italian, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, English. In the last ten years, stress echocardiography has exploded in its breadth and variety of applications.  From a one-fits-all approach (wall motion by 2D-echo in the patient with known or suspected coronary artery disease), the field has progressed to an omnivorous, next-generation laboratory employing a variety of technologies (from M-Mode to 2D, from pulsed, continuous, color and tissue Doppler to lung ultrasound) on patients covering the entire spectrum of severity (from elite athletes to patients with end-stage heart failure) and ages (from children with congenital heart disease to the elderly with aortic stenosis). This new edition is enriched with over 300 figures, 150 tables and   video-clips.  In a societal and economic climate of increasing pressure for appropriate, justified and optimized imaging, stress echocardiography offers the great advantages of being radiation-free, relatively low cost, with minimal environmental impact, and with a staggering versatility: we can get more (information) with less (cost and risk). The volume will be a tremendous aid to current best practices for all health operators who intend to use stress echocardiography and ultrasound for diagnosis and guidance of optimal management  in their patients.

This textbook is designed to serve as a basic resource for clinicians treating “aortic” patients. The aim is to guarantee knowledge of the fundamental theoretical principles and to provide indications on the practical conventional management, or increasingly innovative therapy relating to aortic pathology. Over the years, all physicians have tried to develop treatment strategies which are as non-invasive as possible. No field exemplifies the spectacular progress towards this goal better than the realm of vascular and endovascular aortic therapies. Only by close collaboration between the various specialists, considering the clinical and anatomical aspects, the risk factors and the natural history of the aortic pathology, can the patient be offered the most appropriate therapeutic strategy. The Authors provide with this book quick references with a highly practical and useful approach for students and physicians who wish to gain greater insight into this particular field and to learn how to identify the different presentations of the disease, choose the most appropriate therapeutic strategies, and apply these, swiftly and with ease. We think that the “beauty” of this book lies, as in jazz, in the ensemble of specialists who work daily with aortic pathology, each in their niche, who have offered their experience without equal, and who have found their turnaround in the patient’s health.
