Synopsis

Struggling to connect ultrasound physics to the bedside decisions a cardiology fellow or sonography student must make every day? Most training resources either bury the physics in abstract equations or skip straight to valve grading without explaining why the Doppler numbers behave the way they do.

This 2026 edition closes that gap. Across twenty-five chapters, it walks from beam formation and knobology through chamber quantification, diastolic function, and every major valvular lesion, then into transesophageal echocardiography, stress and contrast imaging, strain, and point-of-care applications.

Without a clear framework, trainees waste months relearning the same concepts in fragments across rotations, and reports stay imprecise long after a fellow can technically operate the machine.

Each chapter delivers:

• Clinical pearls anchored to ACC/AHA, ASE, and ESC criteria
• Worked case vignettes with step-by-step diagnostic reasoning
• Clinical decision points contrasting two plausible diagnostic paths
• Differential-diagnosis quick-reference tables
• One detailed, labeled illustration per chapter clarifying the anatomy or Doppler pattern under discussion

A scannable QR code links directly to a companion video course of real recorded lectures organized to mirror the book's chapter sequence, so a reader can watch a technique demonstrated before practicing it at the console.

Written for cardiology and critical care fellows, sonography students preparing for registry examinations, and any clinician who wants to read an echocardiogram with genuine confidence rather than pattern recognition alone.

Foundations of Clinical Echocardiography is the 2026 reference built to make that confidence possible.
