Summary

Now there is a source of recent information on the basic and clinical usefulness of real-time 3D echocardiography for echocardiographers, cardiologists, cardiac sonographers, and internists. This excellent reference helps clinicians improve pre- and post-surgical planning, attain better measurement of heart function, decrease exam times, and enhance patient communication. An accompanying DVD shows procedures in real time.
