14 ECHO MADE EASY (With Interactive CD ROM) Book Review ECHO MADE EASY (With Interactive CD ROM) Atul Luthra ECHO MADE EASY has been designed to present the intriguing subject of echocardiography in a precise and practical format that is easy to comprehend and ready to assimilate. For the uninitiated reader, the initial chapters are devoted to basic principles of ultrasound and Doppler and to clinical applications of various echo-modalities including 2-D echo, M-mode scan, Doppler echo and colour flow mapping. This is followed by an account of different echo-windows and normal echo-views along with normal values and dimensions. The echo features of various forms of heart disease such as congenital, valvular, coronary and hypertensive disease, are individually discussed. Due emphasis has been laid on pitfalls in diagnosis, differentiation between seemingly similar findings, their causation and their clinical relevance. ECHO MADE EASY is meant for students of cardiology and clinicians keen to integrate this exciting investigative tool into their day-to-day work.
