Description
Elsevier ASEs Comprehensive Strain Imaging 2021 Edition by Thomas H. Marwick, Theodore P. Abraham
Strain imaging (also known as
speckle-tracking echocardiography or STE) is a rapidly growing, affordable, and
versatile cardiac imaging technology of great interest to clinicians in both
inpatient and outpatient settings. ASE's Comprehensive Strain Imaging is the
first reference designed to help you master a wide range of strain imaging/STE
applications, including screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow up. Written
and edited by a team of international experts from the American Society of
Echocardiography (ASE), this new resource provides the information you need to
optimize imaging acquisition and analysis using this important new
echocardiography method.
Covers step-by-step techniques on how to use
strain imaging with expert tips on nuances, pitfalls, and clinical decision
making.
Discusses the growing range of strain imaging
applications for assessing diastolic function, atrial function, heart failure,
arterial disease, valve disease, hypertrophy, and other common cardiovascular
conditions.
Provides up-to-date information on screening and
follow up of patients who receive cardio-toxic oncologic agents during cancer
treatment and evaluation of patients with cardiomyopathy, heart failure,
arterial disease, valve disease, implantable pacemakers, pericardial disease,
hypertrophy, ischemic disease, and chest radiation.
Includes more than 150 images using the latest
strain imaging technology, as well as videos that depict evaluation and
monitoring of patients with cardiomyopathies.
Addresses future applications, including
elastography.
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase.
Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and
references from the book on a variety of devices.
