Manual of Echocardiography

This new edition is a comprehensive and practical guide to the use of echocardiography in everyday clinical practice.

Divided into thirteen sections, the book begins with the basic principles of echocardiography and echocardiographic examination. Subsequent chapters cover the valves of the heart and vascular system, prosthetic valves, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, pericardial disorders, cardiac tumours and congenital heart disease.

The chapters follow a question and answer format and many are supplemented by case studies, as well as full colour images and illustrations.

Much of the content of this manual has been abstracted from Comprehensive Textbook of Echocardiography (9789352701643) published in 2019, also by Navin C Nanda. 

The second edition has been fully revised and updated to include recent advances in the field.
