The unit he created in the early 1990s was one of the largest in Europe and performed animal experimentation. Within it, Garcia Fernandez’s team carried out for the first time descriptions of different cardiac functions and demonstrated the usefulness of cardiac imaging for the diagnosis of various cardiovascular disorders.

Training has, in fact, been one of García Fernández’s great passions throughout his career. Every time he has launched a course, a book or a manual the cardiologist has had in mind the letter he received in the late 1980s from a colleague who “from the solitude of the Sonoran desert, in Mexico,” thanked him for the help provided through the scientific literature.

“The transmission of knowledge is fundamental,” emphasizes the specialist, who tries to adapt to the new times. After producing many medical texts the old-fashioned way, he is now immersed in a project of apps for mobiles and tablets.

This book is intended for any health professional who needs basic training in electrocardiography. It presents the basic concepts of electrocardiography in an easy and direct way. All chapters contain examples and exercises. Each chapter ends with a summary containing the key points of the chapter. Annex with numerous clinical cases.

Echocardiography is the most widely used imaging technique in cardiology diagnosis. The rapid technological advances, the introduction of new techniques and modalities for the study of the heart and great vessels by ultrasound force professionals to handle a large amount of information. This Echocardiography Quantification Guide, published by Momento Medico, offers a wealth of material for the daily work of echocardiographers and is aimed at facilitating rapid consultation. The main problems of echocardiography are treated in a practical way, studying the planes and projections, the principles of Doppler hemodynamics, the assessment of segmental motility, the evaluation of valvular heart disease, protocols for the use of contrasts, stress echocardiography, etc.. It also presents the main sources of errors, messages to remember and other valuable tips that contribute to the quality of the examinations and their interpretation.

La ecocardiografía de contraste miocárdico es una técnica que utiliza microburbujas. Estas microburbujas permanecen enteramente dentro del espacio intravascular y su presencia en cualquier región miocárdica denota el estado de la perfusión microvascular dentro de esa región. Durante los últimos años, se ha dedicado un gran número de estudios de investigación a este tema. Los últimos avances en las técnicas ecocardiográficas y en los agentes de contraste de segunda generación permiten la evaluación potencial de la perfusión miocárdica y proporcionan una delimitación precisa del borde endocárdico.

En el presente libro, estas nuevas técnicas ecocardiográficas dedicadas a la evaluación de la perfusión miocárdica son descritas en detalle por expertos de ambos lados del Atlántico. Se incluyen consejos y trucos, explicando los conceptos básicos necesarios para entender y realizar la ecocardiografía de contraste.

“El uso de agentes de contraste en la ecocardiografía se está convirtiendo en una herramienta clínica de rutina y este libro pretende ayudar a quienes se inician en el uso de los agentes de contraste como una “herramienta de educación en este campo”. … este libro proporciona una introducción actualizada a la ecocardiografía de contraste, así como emocionantes visiones de su potencial futuro”.
