Echo Made Easy

As everyone I started out with Jae k Oh manual of ECHo and found it painfully slow and hard to digest, one of my colleagues suggested that I buy this book and let me tell you that it is worth its money on gold, it makes things simple, rather then starting with hi-fi things this explains basics of echo and once you read and understand this book, Jae K Oh is much easier to read and understand. I reccomend this book to all begginers who are learning ECHO.

This thin volume is an excellent primer for a fellow who is beginning training in cardiovascular medicine. Of course, as one advances in training textbooks written by Otto & by Feigenbaum will provide more intricate details in echocardiography. This succinct book is a good point of departure for the new fellow during the beginning of the academic year. It also fits in the white coat pocket. In fact, I've just completed my first year of training and I still refer to this tome periodically.

When first learning echo, I was dismayed to not be able to find a simple, concise book that allowed me to grasp the many echo concepts that were thrown at me. No more. This book is a must-have for beginning echocardiographers. The descriptions are concise and clear, the illustrations are excellent (a first for most echo books), and it is very logically organized. The price is very reasonable (for medical books), and it is pocketable. The author clearly knows about teaching and getting points across to learners. Kudos to him for filling this gap in the echo book market.

This book is excellent. The beauty of this gem is the price and size, it can be carried as a pocket reference. I recommend it highly to any echocardiographer.

This is a fantastic book!! It is certainly essential reading for anyone learning about echo - doctors, technicians, medical students etc. It covers areas relating to clinical aspects of heart disease (e.g causes of murmurs, endocarditis etc) which are practical and often missing from such books. BUT it is also excellent even for those experienced in echo for use as a refresher and reference source in pocket-size. It has 'normal values' and the figures and illustrations are very good and clear and clinically useful. It is very well written in an accessible style. It was very well reviewed in British Journal of Cardiology and with good reason. This is one of the best medical books I have ever bought and I cannot recommend it highly enough!
