This book is a step-by-step manual for the complete echo-novice. It should be the only book needed to become a proficient echocardiographer. The text focuses on the practicalities of performing an examination, and the interpretation of images. Avoiding unnecessary technicalities, it places particular emphasis on the diagnostic features of sample cases and covers the entire breadth of adult cardiology. The majority of the echo images are also available in a dynamic form on the Expert Consult platform. Also included is access to 100 case scenarios and images for self-assessment interpretation. The combination of the book and the website materials provides an unparalleled learning experience for people who do not routinely practise echocardiography.
.
- The text covers the basic concepts of how ultrasound works and looks at practical aspects of how to perform an echo.
- It examines both normal function as well as the whole range of pathologies encountered in day-to-day clinical practice.
- There is particular emphasis on how to report your interpretation of the echo findings.
- The book is highly illustrated throughout with real examples many of which are available to view in dynamic form on the Expert Consult platform, thus offering a comprehensive library of echo movies.
- The text is fully up to date with the latest recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography as well as equivalents from the British Society of Echocardiography
- 100 self-assessment cases on the Expert Consult platform test knowledge and interpretation skills and are aimed at BSE accreditation exam level
- The full text of the book is available on the Expert Consult platform
- There are new chapters on 3D echo and right ventricular pathologies.
- The text has been fully updated and there are more than 200 new images to illustrate state-of-the-art echo.
- The presentation of the echo images has been simplified with the addition of a fold-out flap on the book referencing the key areas of anatomical detail.
- The text now includes the latest recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography as well as the equivalents from the British Society of Echocardiography

Preface
Echocardiography is an immensely powerful tool, providing a wealth of information about cardiac structure and function. Unlike other imaging modalities this can be achieved painlessly, quickly, safely and at low cost. Echo machines are increasingly portable, and easily used in a wide range of emergency and community settings. No wonder there is huge interest and demand for training in echo by a wide spectrum of healthcare providers.
Echocardiography is a daunting skill to learn, and there are many potential pitfalls for the unsuspecting. How do you get good pictures? How do you distinguish normal and abnormal? Are you making the right measurements and have you made the correct diagnosis? Essential Echocardiography was written to provide answers to these questions. It is a practical guide that allows the beginner to become a confident and independent practitioner. The first chapters cover the principles of ultrasound and focus on the practical aspects of performing and optimising an echo. Subsequent chapters systematically look at the various cardiac chambers, valves and extra-cardiac structures in health and disease. There are new chapters on 3D echo and right ventricular pathologies, with more than 200 new images to illustrate state-of-the-art echo.
Particular emphasis has been placed on the knowledge and skills required for image interpretation, reporting and diagnosis: there are over 300 on-line videos to allow you to develop this expertise. Finally I have written 100 on-line interactive self-assessment questions to test your knowledge, understanding and diagnostic skills.
