"The field of echocardiography is of great importance to the care of patients with a problem involving the cardiovascular system. Virtually all patients with suspected or known cardiovascular diseases undergo echocardiographic analysis as part of their evaluation. The dramatic increase in the application and understanding of echocardiography has made echocardiography one of the most requested imaging modalities in the 21st century. In the past two decades there has been extensive development in the field with the increased use of transesophageal and three-dimensional echocardiography. As a consequence of this rapid development it has been difficult for practicing physicians to understand all of the many uses and innovations in this field"--Provided by publisher.
