Ecocardiografia

Il volume presenta, in modo pratico e sintetico, l'essenziale dell'ecocardiografia generale, con un approfondimento delle tema

This is the first ECG book on the market that addresses the specific needs of those in the exercise science field. Because it's written for clinical exercise physiologists and exercise specialists, it enables readers to tailor stress tests and cardiac rehabilitation programs to meet the needs of their patients. Beginning with an introduction to basic concepts and measurements, the book explores rhythm and atrioventricular blocks followed by discussions of such key topics as infarct, hypertrophy, axis, and conduction defects. The text includes exercise-related case studies and incorporates ACSM guidelines, so it can be used for certification candidates.

CON L'ECOCARDIOGRAFIA TRANSESOFAGEA (INDICATA CON L'ACRONIMO INGLESE TEE) SI OSSERVA IN DIRETTA IL FUNZIONAMENTO E L'ANATOMIA DEL CUORE. QUESTO ESAME DIAGNOSTICO SERVE PER SUPPORTARE CON LA MASSIMA PRECISIONE CHI ESEGUE UN INTERVENTO CHIRURGICO, PER MONITORARE LA FUNZIONE CARDIACA IN TERAPIA INTENSIVA E PER SOMMINISTRARE IN DOSI CORRETTE I FARMACI NELLA FASE POST-OPERATORIA. LA GUIDA ILLUSTRA I RIFERIMENTI ANATOMICI DELLE PROIEZIONI CLASSICHE E LE TECNICHE SIA PER OTTENERE QUELLE IMMAGINI IN PRATICA, SIA PER ESEGUIRE CORRETTAMENTE UN ESAME DI BASE CON TEE. PER AGEVOLARE L'ESECUZIONE DELL'ESAME, UNA TABELLA RAGGRUPPA TUTTI I VALORI DI RIFERIMENTO, NORMALI E INDICATIVI DI PATOLOGIA.

An ideal accompaniment to ECGs for the Emergency Physician Volume 1

This book provides cardiologists with access to the wealth of imaging from the Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart and Lung Institute in London to enable them to improve on their own skills and refine their imaging technique. The authors correlate this echocardiography experience with the pathological and surgical aspects of congenital heart defects. They include a review of the pathologic, physiologic and surgical observations of different congenital diseases to assist in understanding the various echocardiographic presentations. The book contains large numbers of echocardiographic images.

Written by three experts from the Mayo Clinic, this comprehensive question-and-answer review book is an excellent study guide for the Examination of Special Competence in Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography (PTEeXAM). This book contains case-based questions similar in format to those on the exam, extensive explanations, and numerous illustrations. Coverage begins with the basics, including ultrasound physics, principles of Doppler ultrasound, artifacts and pitfalls of imaging, quantitative echocardiography, equipment and safety, indications, contraindications, and complications, and normal anatomy and blood flow during the complete examination. Subsequent chapters cover a variety of clinical applications of transesophageal echocardiography during the perioperative period.

"Questo libro di testo descrive per la maggior parte dei suoi capitoli la rivoluzione che il Laboratorio di Ecocardiografia della Cardiologia del Dipartimento di Scienze Cardiopolmonari di Udine ha avuto grazie a una progressiva implementazione delle più moderne tecnologie digitali. Il classico laboratorio analogico è stato completamente sostituito da un laboratorio full digital, con unanime consenso sulla praticità, efficienza e professionalità che tale nuova organizzazione comporta. Il concetto di laboratorio digitale di ecocardiografia è stato promosso da più di 20 anni dal gruppo storico di Feigenbaum, ma solo pochi laboratori hanno saputo fare il passo di lasciarsi dietro le spalle la tecnologia analogica. Ogni capitolo del libro è frutto della personale esperienza sul campo dell'autore e descrive modelli e obiettivi raggiungibili e pertanto di potenziale utilità pratica per ogni laboratorio di ecocardiografia. Il libro include alcuni capitoli con argomenti abitualmente non descritti nei classici trattati, come quelli sulla gestione dell'accettazione e prenotazione degli esami, sulla privacy e la firma elettronica."

Thoroughly updated for its Third Edition, this best-selling manual is a practical guide to the performance, interpretation, and clinical applications of echocardiography. The "Echo Manual" is written by recognized authorities at the Mayo Clinic and provides a concise, user-friendly summary of techniques, diagnostic criteria, and quantitative methods for both echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography. Discussion of each clinical problem also includes transesophageal echocardiography. This edition covers the latest techniques, standards, and applications and includes new contrast agents. All references have been updated. More than 900 images - well annotated and true to gray scale and color - give readers an immediate grasp of salient points.

Thoroughly updated and greatly expanded for its Second Edition, this highly acclaimed atlas is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference on all aspects of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). It features more than 2,300 illustrations-over 1,100 in full color-that demonstrate the full spectrum of findings observed in acquired and congenital cardiac diseases. This edition has two new chapters on transpharyngeal ultrasound and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. All other chapters have been updated with emphasis on the latest techniques.

Congenital malformations of the heart are often dismissed as a form of complex heart disease, which is too difficult to understand, and is best referred to the specialists. The advent of cross-sectional and, more recently, three-dimensional echocardiography, enables the structural malformations to be visualised virtually non-invasively.
