23 of 24 people found the following review helpful: useful but waiting for the new edition, July 9, 2000 Reviewer: A readerI found this book is useful for all the cardiology trainee as it is well written, easy to understood and there is many figures. However, it did not mention the new technology in the field of echocardiography such as the tissue doppler, contrast echo. I hope the next edition will include this and the illustrations will be more colorful.
