Description

By Troy LaBounty, Melissa Anne Daubert

For more than 50 years, Feigenbaum’s Echocardiography has been a trusted resource for echocardiographers, fellows, clinicians, and sonographers, offering authoritative guidance on pertinent physics, technology, clinical applications, and new developments in the field. The fully revised Ninth Edition, by Drs. Troy M. LaBounty and Melissa A. Daubert, continues the tradition of excellence as a must-have text for practitioners who use echocardiographic methods to care for and manage patients, with a focus on evidence-based applications, emerging technologies, and the rapidly growing field of interventional echocardiography.

Offers comprehensive, in-depth explanations of the art and science of echocardiography and its clinical applications, highlighted with more than 1,200 figures

Discusses the history of techniques and methodologies (written by Dr. Feigenbaum), the evolution of new methods that enhance existing approaches, when to utilize echocardiography, hands-on acquisition details, and how to perform the art of echocardiographic diagnosis

Features an updated Comprehensive echocardiographic examination chapter; a focus on interventional echocardiography in structural heart disease interventions; growing applications of strain imaging; the use of artificial intelligence in echocardiography; and new content that reflects current ACC, AHA, and ASE guidelines

Describes the correlation and synergy between other imaging technologies and echocardiography for a multimodality imaging approach to patient care.
