Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics (Paperback)

Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics is precisely the book cardiologists and cardiology trainees have been waiting for. While this essential area of echocardiography is crucial to cardiologists and all cardiac imagers, there are no dedicated books for case-based Doppler Echocardiography. This often-overlooked discipline integrates physiology with interpretation of a wide variety of real-life echo Doppler tracings. It contains critical information for professionals around the world, including contents highly relevant to their day-to-day practice as well as its unique case studies. An abundance of knowledge in this area can currently be found randomly in various textbooks, but they lack cohesive, dedicated explanations and discussions. Clinical Applications of Echo Doppler Haemodynamics presents the reader with 100 different Doppler images, exemplifying (among other things) cardiophysiology image analysis, LVOT, pulmonary pressures, shunts, congenital heart disease and ECMO. It quite literally gives medical professionals a new way to look at the heart, better allowing them to diagnose and treat previously under-identified ailments. It is a must-have for healthcare workers interested in the most accurate, up-to-date methods of cardiac imaging and Doppler interpretation.

• Presents the first book dedicated solely to Echo Doppler interpretation
• Provides focused information and tips and tricks for mastering Doppler waveform interpretation, and how to integrate this in the assessment of various cardiac disorders
• Includes 100 Echocardiography Doppler tracings, ranging from basic to very advanced with a detailed explanation of each tracing
• Compiles real-life cases into a single resource for both beginner and expert echocardiography practitioners alike

Dr Edgar Argulian, MD, MPH,

MPH, FACC, FASE is Associate Professor of Medicine/Cardiology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is the Director of Echocardiography Laboratories at Mount Sinai Morningside in New York, NY. In addition, he is Program Director of Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at Mount Sinai Morningside, New York, NY. He has conducted multiple clinical research studies in cardiology, mostly in the areas of non-invasive imaging, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy/myocardial disease, hypertension, stress testing, valvular heart disease and echocardiography. He continues active investigations in several areas of non-invasive cardiology such as cardiac ultrasound, stress echocardiography and myocardial disease. He has also maintained an active role in teaching trainees at several levels of training, including medicine residents and cardiology fellows. His educational activities including publishing review articles in high impact journals and editing a book entitled ‘Echocardiography in the CCU’ (2018).
