Preface
The Echocardiography Board Review is written for the primary purpose of helping candidates
prepare for the National Board of Echocardiography and should be helpful both to the
cardiologists and anesthesiologists preparing for this certification process. At the time of
its writing, there were no other published works available that comprehensively dealt with
thematerialcoveredintheseexaminationsinaquestion,answeranddiscussionformat.The
authorshaveusedthisformatinteachingechocardiographytocardiologyfellowsintraining.
One of the main impetuses for initiating this work was the request by many of the trainees
and prospective echocardiography examination candidates to write such material. Similar
requests have also come from echocardiography technicians preparing for their certification
examination.Thereare400well-thought-outquestionsinthisreviewbook.Thequestions
addresspracticallyallareasofechocardiographyincludingappliedultrasoundphysics,practical
hydrodynamics, imaging techniques, valvular heart disease, myocardial diseases, congenital
heart disease, noninvasive hemodynamics, surgical echocardiography, etc. Each question is
followedbyseveralanswerstochoosefrom.Thediscussionaddressesnotonlytherationale

thatimportantkeyconceptsareclearlydriven.Thiswouldnotonlyhelpinthepreparationfor
theexaminations,butalsogiveaclearunderstandingofvariousechocardiographictechniques,

Thisreviewwouldbehelpfulnotonlytotheprospectiveexamineesinechocardiography,
but to all students of echocardiography in training, not only in cardiology and anesthesia

out the salient concepts in a clear fashion. The questions on applied physics, quantitative
Dopplerandimagesareofparticularvalue.Thereareover200stillimagesrepresentingmost

We feel this book will meet the need felt by students of echocardiography in not only
