The only book available on transesophageal echocardiography of the mitral valve, this impressive and highly illustrated text provides a concise yet in-depth analysis of the mitral valve from an experience of over 10,000 transesophageal echocardiograms performed by the authors.
A starting point or 'how-to' reference for studying the mitral valve with transesophageal echocardiography, Mitral Valve Transesophageal Echocardiography is also a highly useful resource for diagnostic examples of mitral pathology for physicians who practice transesophageal echocardiography.
Written by the world's expert on transesophageal echocardiography, key features include
- coverage of normal mitral valve structure and function, followed by abnormalities of structure and function
- evaluation of prostheses, interventional cardiology techniques and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography
- a concise explanation of measurements of cardiac chamber sizes, function and Doppler for transesophageal echocardiographic applications
- transesophageal echocardiographic images juxtaposed with correlative anatomic specimens to provide a clear understanding of normal and abnormal mitral valve anatomy.
