I met Madhav Swaminathan at an echo conference and I really liked his teaching style. I decided to buy this text and I am glad I did. Not only did I ace the boards on my first attempt (thanks to this book), but in my opinion, going thru this text makes you a better teacher as well. It is systematically organized, esp the subject of ‘Diastology’.Even though I got great fellowship training at Mass General, I must say the guys at Duke are exceptional echo teachers. I get no royalties for putting up this review ;) Hit me up if you have any questions. Good luck!!!
Here I am not talking about the material it self, the material is very good and the information is broad I am talking about the kindle version, it is confusing, disorganized, the figures are illustrated under another title, if you go back to the previous page it will have another different arrangement that will make more confusion. I thing should improve the kindle version before readers take bad idea about this amazing well done book. If I the choice back I will chose the paper version.
This is a great book, the best on the market written by experts at Duke. Duke university medical center is one of the best training sites for echo in the world! This book is current, easy to read and has lots of images and practice questions.
Good reference, but the electronic version loaded to an iPad does not have a functional table of contents or index which limits the usefulness.
the only book you need to buy to pass the test
It's the most comprehensive, reasonably sized intraoperative TEE book I've read. It's easy to follow and reading any chapter for the first time, you feel brilliant at that topic by the end.The authors are the biggest names in intraoperative TEE and current in the translation for all modalities into clinical practice, decision making, and outcomes more than anyone else in the world.Finally it also has lots and lots of practice questions for anyone studying for the TEE boards.
