Ecocardiografia
Real Time 3D Interventional Echocardiography
Francesco Fulvio Faletra, Gila Perke altri
editore: Springer London Ltd
pagine: 205
Advances in technology and human skill have made possible percutaneous catheter-based procedures for a wide spectrum of structural heart disease. A growing number of structural heart diseases that over the past two decades would have required open heart surgery can be safely treated using percutaneous catheter-based procedures.Traditionally, guidance of catheter-based procedures is done using fluoroscopy and two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE). The recent introduction in the clinical practice of RT 3D TEE has overcome most of limitations of 2D TEE. The purpose of this book is to describe the use of this imaging modality in percutaneous interventional procedures underlying its growing role and acceptance among the interventional cardiologists but also emphasizing areas of weakness.
Because today interventional cardiology ranges from closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects, to repair of mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis, from the closure of left atrial appendage and prosthesis dehiscence, to the recent use in electrophysiological procedure, this book targets not only specialists in echocardiography and interventional cardiology but also general cardiologists. General cardiologists will find in any chapter anatomy of the structure treated (i.e. atrial septum, mitral valve...), a description of the morphopathology as seen with RT 3D TEE (degenerative or ischemic mitral regurgitation) the up-to-date indications to the specific percutaneous treatment and typical and unusual clinical cases.

Echocardiography is one of the most useful and powerful diagnostic tools in the assessment of cardiac function. It remains a rapidly expanding modality, with new techniques constantly developing and maturing. Building on the success of the original work, the second edition of Making Sense of Echocardiography: A Hands-on Guide provides a timely, accessible overview for those learning echocardiography for the first time as well as an accessible handbook that experienced sonographers can refer to throughout their careers. The strong clinical focus and concentration on real-life scenarios make this book especially relevant in day-to-day practice. New chapters in this edition discuss myocardial mechanics and speckle tracking and 3D echo. The book also contains significantly expanded and updated material on: Contrast echocardiography Tissue Doppler imaging Intravascular ultrasound and epicardial echocardiography The left ventricle and its systolic function Left ventricular diastolic function The left atrium Supplying the latest guidelines and evidence-based clinical advice, this edition is also supplemented with new illustrations and an updated website.
Fully updated key references for further reading are provided for each chapter. This accessible yet comprehensive text will ensure readers are up to date on the essentials in the field and can confidently integrate new procedures into their everyday practice.

Echocardiography in Mitral Valve Disease
Francesco Fulvio Faletra
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 200
This book provides a comprehensive account of the role of echocardiography in patients with mitral valve disease. The normal echocardiographic anatomy of the mitral valve is first presented, and the applications of echocardiography in mitral valve disease are then covered in detail by experts from different subspecialties in cardiology. Topics include etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, assessment of severity, and role of echocardiography in percutaneous and surgical techniques. The highly readable text is supported by a wealth of color images obtained with 3D echocardiography, currently the gold standard for the evaluation of mitral valve disease. The interdisciplinary approach used in describing the diagnostic and therapeutic applications will make this book useful for the clinical cardiologist as well as the echocardiographer. It will allow cardiologists to advance their knowledge in the field and will serve as an excellent updating tool for professionals engaged in echocardiography and cardiac diagnostic imaging.

The editors of the Comprehensive Textbook of "Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography" have created a new product entitled "Basic Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography: A Multimedia Review". It consists of a short, full-color paperback book with a bound-in DVD, this product was developed with the recent endorsement of the ASA of an extensive educational program to train its members as well as creating a certification process with the NBE for its members in basic echocardiography. The book covers the basics - how to set up the machine, how to acquire the different views, relevant cardiac anatomy and pathophysiology, normal and abnormal values, how to perform the TEE exam, as well as basic assessment and interpretation skills. Each chapter ends with questions and answers. The DVD consists of 3D animations of the probe scanning the heart correlated to TEE video output, as well as rotating 3D animations of cardiac anatomy, enabling the user to see what is being scanned (anatomy), the position of the scanner, and the appearance of anatomy and pathophysiology via the TEE video output at once. "Basic Perioperative Echocardiography and Review" is suited for anyone interested in basic TEE skills: anesthesiologists, cardiologists, and critical care practitioners.
Ecocardiografia in area critica
Fabio Guarracino
editore: Elsevier
pagine: 463
L'impiego dell'ecocardiografia ha rappresentato, negli ultimi anni, una delle innovazioni più interessanti nella medicina critica, sia per le ricadute nella gestione clinica dei pazienti, sia per aver portato a un ragionamento sempre più fisiopatologico nell'affrontare la problematica emodinamica. La diffusione di questo strumento tra ampie schiere di medici non tradizionalmente coinvolti nella diagnostica ultrasonora, quali intensivisti, anestesisti rianimatori, medici d'urgenza, chirurghi, genera una forte richiesta di formazione e di cultura specifica. Accanto a vantaggi innegabili, e talora straordinari, nella gestione clinica, devono essere infatti tenuti ben chiari i potenziali rischi derivanti da una diagnosi errata e dalle conseguenti terapie inappropriate. Questo volume offre una prospettiva completa dal punto di vista della metodica ecocardiografica nei diversi scenari di medicina critica, permettendo al medico di comprendere quale metodica sia più appropriata nello scenario in cui si trova a operare. Apporta il punto di vista di esperti internazionali di valore su temi difficili e talora controversi. Fornisce spunti di riflessione sulle moderne metodiche, quali l'ecocardiografia tridimensionale negli scenari critici. Presenta un'inedita trattazione del ruolo dell'ecocardiografia nei più moderni scenari interventistici, proponendosi come uno strumento utile nella pratica clinica multidisciplinare, dimostrando la trasversalità dell'ecocardiografia.
