Description
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.
Reviews
This manual is a new and welcomed entry in the genre of ECG education. For the absolute novice, I still think Dale Dubin’s Rapid Interpretation of EKG’s remains the most basic and helpful resource as evidenced by its 4++ star rating on Amazon with nearly 500 reviews (quite a lot for a book with so limited interest). However, Dubin’s text is not without its detractors who find the text too simplistic and its author not someone they wish to patronize (Dr Dubin went to jail for rather vile crimes). This book is not as simplistic as the Dubin manuscript, but still approachable for the novice. It contains more useful information than Ferry’s Basic Electrocardiography and more practical tips on reading ECGs than Conover’s Understanding Electrocardiography. I still think Marriott’s Practical Electrocardiography remains the best source for a physician to learn to read ECGs, but find it a bit too complicated for the novice. I have been involved in resident training for several decades and have examined many sources looking for good educational material. I think this book is written at a level which is both approachable to the nonphysician and yet has enough information to be of interest to the physician learner as well. Highly recommended as a quality text in an already crowded field.
