AB Perioperative  echocardiography  is  an  essential  tool  in  the  anesthetic  management  of  the  cardiac  surgical  patient.  Moreover,  echocardiographic  skills  and  knowledge  can  be  applied  to  patients  irrespective  of  the  nature  of  surgical  procedure.  Consequently,  this  text  begins  with  a  discussion  about  transesophageal  echocardiography  (TEE)  and  other  echocardiographic  modalities.  Throughout  this  book,  TEE  will  be  employed  to  illustrate  various  cardiac  pathologies  and  the  anesthetic  manipulations  required  to  manage  patients  with  a  variety  of  cardiac  conditions.  TEE  imagery  will  be  integrated  into  the  discussion  and  explanations  of  perioperative  management  much  in  the  way  that  echocardiographic  images  are  employed  in  routine,  daily  anesthetic  practice.  Although  it  is  not  the  authors’  intention  to  write  a  definitive  text  of  perioperative  echocardiography,  it  is  hoped  that  the  reader  will  become  sufficiently  familiar  with  this  valuable  tool  to  appreciate  how  echocardiographic  imagery  can  be  mated  with  clinical  knowledge  and  clinical  experience  to  effectively  manage  the  cardiac  surgery  patient.
