Abstract Characterization of tissue in echocardiography starts with visual assessment of the
regular greyscale 2D imaging. However, this does not allow to examine intricate structural …

The noninvasive evaluation of cardiac morphology and function by echocardiography is an
essential part of modern intensive care therapy. However, this procedure can be challenging …

This book covers all aspects of modern techniques used in the rapidly developing field of
adult critical care echocardiography, 3D transthoracic and transesophageal …

Background: Critical care echocardiography has become standard of care in the ICU. New
technologies have been developed and have shown potential clinical utility to elucidate …

Critical care echocardiography is developing rapidly with an increasing number of
