  • "Under the impetus of technological innovations and the drive for cost-effectiveness, stress echocardiography has developed into a well-established technique that is versatile, patient friendly, and relatively inexpensive. This book provides systematic comparisons with cardiac imaging techniques from a clinically oriented perspective."@en
  • "This fifth edition of the book has been extensively revised and updated to reflect the further progress achieved over the past few years. The early chapters place the technique within a historical context and describe its pathophysiological basis. Thereafter, all aspects of stress echocardiography are discussed, clearly and in detail, by the distinguished pioneer, Eugenio Picano, and other contributors carefully selected for their expertise in the topic under consideration. Both mainstream and emerging applications are explained, and systematic comparisons with competing and complementary cardiac imaging techniques are provided from a clinically oriented perspective. The text is supported by a CD-ROM and a large number of high-quality illustrations."
  • "Stress echocardiography today appears on the clinical stage as a clean and efficient option for diagnostic imaging of myocardial ischemia. This concise and therefore successful textbook stems from a long-standing experience and describes in a systematic fashion the recent diagnostic entity of stress echocardiography: the pathophysiological and experimental roots, the methodology, the clinical fruits and the new branches of possible future development. But first of all it tries to help the cardiologist in clinical practice to know why, how and when to perform stress echocardiography."
  • "Over the past twenty years, stress echocardiography has developed into a well-established technique that is versatile, patient friendly, and relatively inexpensive. This new, extensively revised and enlarged edition of Stress Echocardiography documents all of the very significant advances made since the fourth edition. The early chapters place the technique within a historical context and describe its pathophysiological basis. Thereafter, all aspects of stress echocardiography are discussed, clearly and in detail, by the distinguished pioneer, Eugenio Picano, and other contributors carefully selected for their expertise. Both mainstream and emerging applications are explained, and systematic comparisons with competing and complementary cardiac imaging techniques are provided. The text is supported by a large number of high-quality illustrations. This book is invaluable not only to cardiologists but also to non-experts, such as technicians and students."
  • "From reviews of the previous editions: "Dr. Picano, one of the pioneers of stress echo, describes the pathophysiological basis of the technique extremely well. In addition, both the advantages and the limitations of the method are covered in a clear and comprehensive way. The book will be useful to cardiologists and even "non-experts" such as echo technicians and students". (Jos Roelandt, Cardiov Res; 1994; 28: 1: 143) "A narrative and enjoyable style ... An extremely valuable and important book for those who practise stress echo and are interested in clinical and scientific aspects of the method". (H.P. Kuhl, Der Internist, 1999; 9: 958) "An extremely well written, unique Picano-style. This beautiful book is an essential part of every good cardiological library". (A. Boccanelli, G Ital Cardiol; 1998; 28:81)"

  • "There have been four translations (English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese) and thousands of copies sold of this international bestseller, written by a stress echo pioneer (i.e., according to his own definition, someone who started to work with the technique at a time when it clearly could not work). In the present third edition, the book has been enriched by contributions of an outstanding, truly international panel of experts, and encompasses the whole spectrum of applications of stress echocardiography. The content will interest both researchers and clinicians. The topics covered range from the pathophysiological basis to the economic implication; from recognition of myocardial viability to the induction of ischemia; from methodological technicalities to risk stratification strategy; from diagnosis of coronary artery disease and coronary vasospasm to the emerging applications beyond coronary artery disease in heart transplant, valvular disease and dilated cardiomyopathy."@en
  • "After ten years of life restricted to the scientific world of research, stress echocardiography today appears on the clinical stage as a clean and efficient option for diagnostic imaging of myocardial ischemia. At the Institute of Clinical Physiology of Pisa, stress echocardiography has successfully moved from the status of fancy pathophysiological toy to one of practical diagnostic weapon - in spite of the availability of a strong and sophisticated nuclear cardiology department. This textbook stems from a long-standing experience and describes in a systematic fashion the new diagnostic entity of stress echocardiography: the pathophysiological and experimental roots, the methodology, the clinical fruits and the new branches of possible future development. Only time will tell whether the new plant of the diagnostic forest will grow tall; but certainly its place is no longer in the academic greenhouse with exotic entities, but rather in the open air of the real world, where this baedeker might be of help to the clinician and the researcher interested in ischemic heart disease."
  • "Describes the pathophysiological basis of stress echochardiography. Both the advantages and the limitations of the method are covered in a clear and comprehensive way. The book will be useful to cardiologists and even 'non-experts' such as echo technicians and students."
