Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This book aims to provide a practical and clinically useful introduction to echo - much of which is easy - for those who will be using, requesting and possibly interpreting it in the future. The book is aimed particularly at doctors in training and medical students. It is also hoped that it may be of interest to other groups - established physicians and general practitioners, cardiac technicians, nurses and paramedics. It aims to explain the echo techniques available, what an echo can and cannot give, and - importantly - put echo into a clinical perspective. It is by no means intended as a complete textbook of echo and some aspects are far beyond its scope (eg, complex congenital heart disease and pediatric echo).



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Start for first week
I bought this book for my first echo rotation, this book is easy to understand and cover many basic principles of echocardiography. This is a great book for your first 2-4 weeks of Echo learning , but the benefit of it will get much smaller as time go by.




Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Great for beginners, but . . .
This is a great book for beginning Echo students or someone who just wants a simple overview of Echo. But, if you are an Echo tech that wants a much more advanced reference this is not it. Doesn't go into advanced cardiac abnormalities or congential diseases.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Echo IS made easy
Echo Made EasyThis book has helped me to better understand echocardiography. It explains in simple terms and it's an easy read. It is small and travels well. I take it with me and read when I have a little time to kill. I only wish I had bought it sooner.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just As the Title Implies!
Just as the title implies, this easy to understand paperback on echocardiology gives students and clinicians the basics to use as building blocks in understanding the more technical textbooks on the complex subject.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic work on ECHO
As everyone I started out with Jae k Oh manual of ECHo and found it painfully slow and hard to digest, one of my colleagues suggested that I buy this book and let me tell you that it is worth its money on gold, it makes things simple, rather then starting with hi-fi things this explains basics of echo and once you read and understand this book, Jae K Oh is much easier to read and understand.

I reccomend this book to all begginers who are learning ECHO.
