You are extracting content from a medical echocardiography textbook to create comprehensive study notes for an MD Internal Medicine doctor. The textbook is "Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography" (ISBN: 9780323882088). There are 4 blocks. Your job is to extract ALL major content from BLOCKS 1 AND 2. Files: - Block 1: /textbooks/9780323882088/9780323882088_block1.md (5158 lines) - Block 2: /textbooks/9780323882088/9780323882088_block2.md (5225 lines) **INSTRUCTIONS:** 1. Read each block in chunks of 200 lines (use offset/limit parameters on read_file) 2. Extract ALL clinically important content including: - Key physics/technical concepts with equations - ALL echo views and windows with descriptions - Normal values and measurements (exact numbers) - Valve assessment (mitral, aortic, tricuspid, pulmonary) - severity criteria, measurements, Doppler parameters - LV systolic/diastolic function assessment - Doppler principles and applications - Image URLs (they appear as markdown images like ) - COLLECT EVERY IMAGE URL YOU FIND 3. For EVERY section, extract the key teaching points with exact numbers and criteria 4. Note ALL image URLs found (these are embedded diagrams/echo images in the textbook) **OUTPUT FORMAT:** Return a comprehensive structured text summary organized by topic/chapter with: - All key equations and formulas - All normal values and measurement thresholds - All severity grading criteria (mild/moderate/severe) - All image URLs found (list them with their context/description) - Key clinical decision points Be thorough - this is for an MD doctor who needs detailed notes. Include every important detail from both blocks.
