In recent years, echocardiography has evolved from a qualitative
diagnostic tool into a complex and sophisticated technique that is
able to provide accurate, quantitative information driving the
management of most cardiac diseases. Despite the availability,
affordability and scientific value of advanced echocardiography
techniques such as Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and Speckle
Tracking, there has been a lack of accessible information about
their use in real-life medical practice.
This practical book is the first comprehensive resource with
truly international authorship covering the theory and clinical
applications of advanced myocardial imaging as a diagnostic,
monitoring and prognostic tool.
* Edited by internationally recognized experts in cardiac
imaging, Myocardial Imaging: Tissue Doppler and Speckle
Tracking collates the latest research into a specific, in-depth
resource.
* The book focuses on how to use advanced cardiac imaging
techniques in everyday clinical practice, presenting relevant
material in a logical format.
* Each chapter covers a different clinical application of TDI
and Speckle Tracking techniques and is illustrated with full color
images and tables, allowing quick and easy reference to clinically
appropriate information.
* It is accompanied by an invaluable CD of video clips that
illustrate concepts in the text and provide real examples of
echocardiography in practice.
* Clear, concise key facts and summaries throughout the book
enable fast decisions at point of care.
This book is an invaluable resource for cardiologists,
sonographers or other healthcare professionals who want to get the
most out of the new technology available on echo machines.

Tom Marwick has been involved in cardiac imaging research for over
20 years, over which time he has published over 300 papers and 5
books, and held over 50 research grants. His main current interests
are in myocardial tissue characterization and the quantification of
myocardial function, ventriculo-arterial interaction and studies of
how cardiac imaging techniques can influence patient outcomes and
cost-effectiveness of care. His work has been widely recognized
nationally and internationally, with awards from the National
Health and Medical Research Council and the Cardiac Society of
Australia and New Zealand, and National Heart Foundation of
Australia, and invitations to present named lectures at the
American Society of Echocardiography (Feigenbaum Lecture 2003) and
European Association of Echocardiography (Euro Echo Lecture 2004).
Dr Marwick is strongly committed to undergraduate and postgraduate
teaching, and has been an invited speaker at most major Cardiology
meetings over the last 15 years.

more than 20 years in a top hospital in Beijing China. She has
published more than 120 papers and 8 books worldwide. She held many
leadership positions while in the Peoples Republic of China. Since
her immigration to the United States her academic career has
flourished. Her research activities at the Cleveland Clinic
Foundation have been exceptional and recognized by multiple
publications in the leading cardiology journals. She has presented
abstracts of important observations at all the major cardiology
scientific sessions in the United States and has been an invited
speaker at international meetings. Her expertise is
echocardiography is evident not only by her publications but also
by her special contract work for important clinical trails where
echocardiography has been a key aspect of the investigations.
She was the first Chinese Doctor selected as International Fellow
of America College of Cardiology (FACC) and International Fellow,
Council on Clinical Cardiology of American Heart Association
(FAHA).
