Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, 6th Edition, is a textbook that explains the core principles of echocardiographic imaging to support initial diagnosis and clinical decision-making across cardiovascular diseases. Catherine M. Otto outlines foundational concepts for performing and interpreting cardiac ultrasound studies.
The volume addresses ultrasound physics, image acquisition, Doppler analysis, and both tomographic and three-dimensional anatomy. It relates these principles to the assessment of conditions such as ventricular dysfunction, valvular disease, cardiomyopathies, and pericardial disorders.
Employing a practical, problem-based approach, the text is structured for cardiology fellows, medicine residents, and cardiac sonography students. It serves as an instructional guide for clinical workflow and preparation for board examinations.
