Summary: Excellent book - Echo Made Easy
Review: This is a fantastic book!!

It is certainly essential reading for anyone learning about echo - doctors, technicians, medical students etc. It covers areas relating to clinical aspects of heart disease (e.g causes of murmurs, endocarditis etc) which are practical and often missing from such books. BUT it is also excellent even for those experienced in echo for use as a refresher and reference source in pocket-size. It has 'normal values' and the figures and illustrations are very good and clear and clinically useful.

It is very well written in an accessible style. It was very well reviewed in British Journal of Cardiology and with good reason. This is one of the best medical books I have ever bought and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Summary: Excellent Starter Book
Review: When first learning echo, I was dismayed to not be able to find a simple, concise book that allowed me to grasp the many echo concepts that were thrown at me. No more.

This book is a must-have for beginning echocardiographers. The descriptions are concise and clear, the illustrations are excellent (a first for most echo books), and it is very logically organized. The price is very reasonable (for medical books), and it is pocketable.

The author clearly knows about teaching and getting points across to learners. Kudos to him for filling this gap in the echo book market.
