Practical guide to using color flow and spectral Doppler in interpreting echocardiographic findings in veterinary practice
Doppler Echocardiography for the Small Animal Practitioner
provides a clinically oriented quick reference to using color flow and
spectral Doppler to interpret echocardiographic findings, enabling
readers to learn and apply these techniques and acquire background
knowledge of technical factors affecting diagnostic color and spectral
Doppler. Practically, the text also serves as a quick checklist for the
Doppler features of commonly acquired cardiac diseases in the dog and
cat. To aid in reader comprehension, the text contains color images and
video clips to support the descriptions.
This
handbook is not intended as a comprehensive explanation of the
echocardiographic features associated with heart disease in animals.
Rather, it is intended as the next step for the general practitioner and
the non-cardiac specialist that have learned to acquire diagnostic 2D
and M-Mode echocardiographic studies.
Written by a
highly experienced professionals with nearly 40 years of experience in
the field of veterinary echocardiography, sample topics covered in Doppler Echocardiography for the Small Animal Practitioner include:
- Doppler principles as they apply to accuracy and evaluation of the color flow and spectral Doppler examination
- Imaging
planes required for accurate evaluation of flows in the heart and an
explanation of and application of Doppler pressure gradients
- Interpretation of color flow signals and common Doppler features of the most frequently acquired heart diseases in dogs and cats
- Specific
intricacies of the field, including isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT)
and imaging planes techniques of the mitral valve and aorta
Doppler Echocardiography for the Small Animal Practitioner
is a highly valuable resource and practical guide for all professionals
in the field who have learned to acquire diagnostic 2D and M-Mode
echocardiographic studies and now need to understand how to learn and
apply these techniques in a myriad of practical applications.
