This official textbook of the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE) serves the educational requirements of cardiologists and all clinical medical professionals, underpinning the structural training in the field in accordance with EAE aims and goals, and reflecting the EAE Core Syllabus. Published in partnership with the European Society of Cardiology, and written by a team of expert authors from across Europe, it is a valuable resource to support not only those with an interest in echocardiography but specifically those seeking the information needed for accreditation and training through the EAE. The textbook is in full colour throughout, contains over 500 high quality illustrations, and includes a DVD of 140 videos.
The printed edition is complemented by an online version (also available for separate purchase on subscription basis), allowing users to search the text, download the figures for use in PowerPoint presentations, and access EAE-approved multiple choice questions for self-assessment.
