Feigenbaum’s Echocardiography, 8th South Asian Edition

Feigenbaum’s Echocardiography is a leading reference for mastering the science, technology and clinical application of cardiac ultrasound. The thoroughly revised 8th South Asian Edition helps cardiologists, fellows, clinicians and cardiac sonographers remain current with developments in echocardiographic diagnosis and patient management.

Written by William F. Armstrong and Thomas Ryan, the book explains essential ultrasound physics, examination techniques, image interpretation and the clinical use of echocardiography across a broad range of cardiovascular conditions.
