Reviews

This expanded third addition addresses the updated aspects of 3D echocardiography, focusing on its clinical value. It provides detailed and comprehensive information on the complex nature of 3D echocardiography, focusing on the diagnostic aspects of valvular disorders and structural disorders, as well as special features such as speckle tracking and 3D printing. The use of detailed graphics, charts, and graphs provides excellent visual aids to guide physicians in understanding those objectives. From diagnosis to treatment of a variety of clinical etiologies, it builds a framework for the understanding of complex concepts. The use of numerous examples with arrows and detailed explanations helps to conceptualize this sophisticated topic. The use of other figures, charts, and graphics significantly help the readers solidify their understanding of the text. Given the complexity of the book and its subject manner, this is a valuable resource for cardiology fellows in training, cardiologists, and imaging specialists,. The quality of the examples and content of the book are excellent and provide a framework to help understand 3D echocardiography.
