Practical Verterinary Echocardiography - Second Edition
Overview:
This book goes into a lot of depth explaining echocardiography, I love the
quick reference guides on findings for different diseases on the inside covers. I also find the tables at the back giving the range of normal cardiac measurements for Bovine, Canine (including different breed values) Feline, Equine and Miscellaneous species very useful.
What is in the book?
This book packs a lot of information into its pages – with great echo images, and explanations. There are plenty of pictures and it is easily used as a reference book.
Is there anything I should know?
Veterinary Echocardiography is a very detailed book, and will not teach you
how to scan hearts all by itself. However, if you have been on a course it is a great supplement and will teach much more advanced echocardiography than currently taught to first opinion practitioners on CPD courses.
Should I buy it if I’m in First Opinion Small Animal Veterinary Practice?
Yes - advanced only
