Very helpful extra book.

It is always OK to use more than one book for study of a subject but for ECHO Feigenbaums is the bible. The 6th edition is a great book and DVD-ROM. Recommended for all levels of echocardiologists. Ottos book is a helpful extra book. If you want to stick to one book get Feigenbaum's.

CV Anesthesiologist

Well written and easy to understand. Many TTE references are less useful to a beginner in TEE without much TTE experience.

useful but waiting for the new edition

I found this book is useful for all the cardiology trainee as it is well written, easy to understood and there is many figures. However, it did not mention the new technology in the field of echocardiography such as the tissue doppler, contrast echo. I hope the next edition will include this and the illustrations will be more colorful.
