Overall, given the high-quality images, diagrams, and accompanying videos, this book is an excellent introductory echocardiography reference for primary care practitioners. The author states that becoming a proficient echocardiographer requires “practice, patience, and more in-depth reading to develop these techniques and assessments,” and I strongly concur. This book is simply an introductory reference and should not be expected to be more than that"  (Reviewed by Bill Tyrrell, DVM, DACVIM CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets, Leesburg, Va 15th june 2017 AVMA) SERIES Rapid Reference
