Atlas of Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography, 2 Vol. Set

In recent years, transesophageal echocardiography has become one of the most exciting imaging modalities available in modern clinical cardiology. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography is the result of the evolution of echocardiography from single plane and biplane transducers over the past decade. Atlas of Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography aims to provide cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and cardiac surgeons with a comprehensive analysis of cardiac imaging from the authors' experience of having performed over 15,000 transesophageal echocardiograms. Using a consistent format throughout, each chapter commences with normal cardiac structure and function followed by abnormalities. There are concise explanations for measuring and interpreting cardiac chamber sizes and function. Transesophageal echocardiographic images are juxtaposed with top quality correlative anatomic specimens, nearly 3000 images in total, to give a clear understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy.
