Why a book on contrast echocardiography? Over the past dozen years
enough experience has accumulated to warrant a more extensive
treatment of this method. Furthermore, there are new developments
that suggest increased clinical utility for contrast
echocardiography in the future. This book aims to summarize the
"state of the art" for those interested in echocardiography -
presumably mainly cardiologists, but here and there those of a more
technical bent will find useful information as well. We feel that a
more basic understanding of microbubble dynamics is necessary to
advance research for such applications as transmission through the
lungs, videodensitometric quantitation of cardiac output,
intracardiac shunts, etc. All of these topics are extensively dealt
with. The reader will note that many of the clinical chapters are
written by pediatric cardiologists. This is only natural, since
shunt detection and analysis of flow relationships are relatively
more important in congenital heart diseases, and cur rently
represent the most important uses for contrast echo cardiography in
day-to day practice."
