Feigenbaum's Echocardiography 7th Edition

This book has filled a worthy space in my acquisition of echocardiographic skills. The DVD is great as well as the color pictures and all topics are well done and comprehensive. It gives you a lot more than the Oh manual which includes a lot of details. I would recommend it for someone who has a handle on echos but wants more details to be informed and be a better echocardiographer/cardiologist.

İ feel so happy while waiting this book , my friend has one and i decided to get this significant and comprehensive echo diamond.thanks for people who spent the efforts to build this treasure.

I purchased this book in Dec. of 2011 as it was a required text for my Echo Program I began in 2012. It is a very nice hard cover text, which even comes along with a DVD to watch echo clips with text for understanding (that goes along with the pictures in the book, very helpful indeed!). This book is VERY VERY Well DETAILED and is sometimes hard to follow as the vocabulary can become a bit overwhelming. The chapters are very long, however there are lots of images that go along. Of all the books we were required to purchase this book was the most overwhelming as a beginning Echocardiographer, it is also the HEAVIEST! However, it does have an excellent index to help you find anything you may be looking for. It covers many a topics such as: AOV Disease, MV Disease, Hemodynamics, Pericardial Diseases, Physics, Contrast Echo, Echo Exam....etc. Nevertheless as it is a pricey book (All echo books are), it is a good reference and good learning tool to have as it goes very very well in detail, and the C.D. that accompanies it is fantastic bonus to have as well. Seeing the still images in the book help, but it is much better to see the picture moving and in motion to help you recognize seeing it on the screen in real time when you are on your own. I have now graduated and am an Echocardiographer! I will be keeping this book and C.D. for future reference and also to help me study for my boards, and do still believe it was a good book for us students to purchase. ENJOY!

Feigenbaum's Echocardiography is very clear texbook in his explanations, their images very sharp.I recommend for sonographers who want to get their certification in Echocardiography and for Cardiologist resident.Sandra Q

This is a great book. The text is well written, the pictures are crisp and clear for ultrasound images, and the DVD included shows a lot of the images in realtime, making it much easier to study.

I got the book new, I like it a lot, very enjoyable, I will read it for the echo board

I was a medical student, teacher cardiology recommendation to buy this book, learned a lot, it is recommended that you use.

I'm currently a student in cardiac sonography in the rather early phase (as an encore career). At this point, I have read only about 4 chapters of the book. In looking through this book, I can see that it is extremely full of information with lots of technical details. The book pretty much covers everything from A to Z in echocardiography. It includes lots of illustrations and images within the book. In addition, a DVD, included with the hard cover book but not included with the Kindle version (although one can be ordered from the publisher), provides a large set of video clips depicting various techniques and some pathologies.The main issue with the book is that it is not really for beginners - people wading into echocardiography. My classmates are not exactly in love with this book, however, due to its being so heavily detailed. The prevailing view is that the Scott D. Solomon textbook, "Essential Echocardiography" is the more appropriate book for students getting started in this field.For the more advanced echocardiography students and practicing echocardiography professionals, this Feigenbaum book would seem to be appropriate and to be an excellent resource.
