Clinical Echocardiography of the Dog and Cat

Covering both classical modalities of echocardiography and newer techniques, Clinical Echocardiography of the Dog and Cat shows how to assess, diagnose, and treat canine and feline heart disease. A clinical approach demonstrates how
these modalities may be used to acquire images, and then how you can
recognize and identify patterns, relate them to different diseases, and
manage patient care with those findings. The print book includes a
companion website with 50 videos of cardiac ultrasound exams and procedures.
Written by veterinary cardiology specialists and echocardiographers
Eric de Madron, Valerie Chetboul, and Claudio Bussadori, this
indispensable echocardiology resource is ideal for general practitioner
veterinarians as well as specialists, including cardiologists and
radiologists.
