A Problem-Oriented Approach
Second Edition
by Steven N. Konstadt
Clinical Transesophageal Echocardiography provides comprehensive coverage of current TEE usage in cardiac and noncardiac surgery and features an extensive series of case discussions based on specific presenting problems.
Clinical Transesophageal Echocardiography uses a unique problem-oriented approach to demonstrate the clinical applications of transesophageal echocardiography.
