Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease: From Fetus to Adult

Finally, this is a resource that takes full advantage of modern technology! In a major advance for pediatric
cardiology, this text/DVD set covers ultrasound physics; laboratory set-up; a protocol for a standard pediatric
echocardiogram; quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function; in-
depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations; acquired pediatric heart disease; and topics of special
interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography.
