    Text is concise, direct, and straightforward without simplifying or abridging its subject matter. As helpful for systematic board review as it is for quick clinical reference on rounds or in the echo lab. The quality of the images and videos is consistently exceptional. Annotations and diagrams are intuitive and well composed. By popular demand, this is the central resource used at my institution for training in the echo lab—both for Cardiology fellows and for Critical Care and Ultrasound fellows from Emergency Medicine.

  • Excellent tool for board review

    I started using this book during the beginning of my Cardiology fellowship and can honestly say I would have been lost without it. The interactive pictures, videos and text of basic Echocardiography and disease processes were outstanding, and best of all engaging. I would highly recommend this ibook to anyone planning on a career in Cardiology, resident or fellow.

    One of the best tools available for new learners, excellent graphics, easy to read . Great reference , must buy for new learners of echo. Writers have done an excellent job in explaining complex concepts in easy to read and understand complex topics. Probably the most practical and user friendly book on echos.
