Fetal Cardiology: Embryology, Genetics, Physiology, Echocardiography Evaluation, Diagnosis and Perinatal Management of
Cardiac Diseases, the leading comprehensive book on the market today, now returns with a major revision.
Accounting for the huge strides in technological development over the past few years, as well as of recent research and
advances, this text updates cutting-edge information on topics such as:
?embryology
?cardiovascular development
?placental implantation and development
?intracardiac shunt malformations
?congenital heart defects in the newborns
?fetal cardiac surgery
?fetal cardiac tumors
New to the Second Edition:
?CD-ROM with video clips of 4D ultrasound
?high quality illustrations essential for diagnostic echocardiography
?information pertaining to the huge strides in technological development that have occurred since the previous edition
