Verfasser


Derliz Mereles kommt aus Asunción, Paraguay und ist seit 1993 wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter, seit 2009 Leiter des Echolabors und der Forschungsgruppe Echokardiographie der kardiologischen Abteilung der Medizinischen Klinik der Universität Heidelberg.

Sein Medizinstudium absolvierte an der Universidad Nacional de Asunción, Paraguay, 1982-1987. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkt ist die morphofunktionelle Charakterisierung des Herzens mittels Echokardiographie.

Seine langjährige Erfahrung in der Echokardiographie möchte er mit dieser Anleitung weitergeben.
