First sentence: Like many scientific innovations, stress echocardiography has evolved from the status of "promising technique," embraced by a few enthusiastic supporters amid general skepticism, to "established technology," accepted by the overwhelming majority of the cardiologists (Fig. 1).
Description: Describes the pathophysiological basis of stress echochardiography. Both the advantages and the limitations of the method are covered in a clear and comprehensive way. The book will be useful to cardiologists and even 'non-experts' such as echo technicians and students.
