This elegant treatise brings together two decades of experience in cardiology and echocardiography. The potential of these technological advances need to be harnessed by clinicians in order to focus their patient benefits. This monography correlates color flow Doppler echocardiography with clinical cases as seen through the eyes and experience of Dr. Antonio Vitarelli. Dr. Vitarelli graduated from the University of Rome and received his post-graduate training in the Hospital of Lund in Sweden, the Department of Cardiology – University of Virginia in the United States, and the Henry Ford Heart and Vascular Institute in Detroit, Michigan. This beautifully illustrated opus correlates a number of cardiovascular syndromes with the recently developed technology of color flow Doppler echocardiography, a technique which provides a graphic description of these syndromes.
