TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preface A1 - Orsinelli, David A. PY - 2016 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Echocardiography AB - Patients with cardiovascular disease are encountered in virtually every field of medicine, from the family practitioner and general internist to the surgeon and even the obstetrician. While other "advanced imaging" modalities such as cardiac MRI and CT are able to noninvasively evaluate cardiac structure and function and provide complimentary and additional information for the clinician, no modality other than echocardiography can provide a rapid noninvasive evaluation of the heart and great vessels. Echocardiography is available in virtually any clinical setting, from the emergency department to the ICU, the operating room and the stress lab, at the bedside and in the office.
