In diagnostic cardiology, the effectiveness and reliability of state-of-the-art echocardiography is unsurpassed, but as with all ultrasound examinations, the results are highly operator dependent. The second edition of Boehmeke's Pocket Atlas of Echocardiography is concise and portable, including all the information necessary to perform and read echocardiograms, and to navigate the bewildering number of imaging planes that transect the heart with ease and confidence.

Key features include more than 400 illustrations, including sharp, clear echocardiograms, corresponding full-color schematic diagrams, and 3-D images. For this new edition, all images showing cardiac disease have been post-processed to make them clearer and more accurately related to the explanatory drawings. Detailed descriptions of all the acoustic windows and imaging planes for every echocardiogram are also provided, along with a practical overview.
