A Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography: Normal and Abnormal Hearts-3판

Description
Lavishly illustrated and easy to use, this comprehensive guide covers every aspect of fetal heart examination and all
major cardiac malformations. World-renowned experts in the field, Drs. Abuhamad and Chaoui, world-renowned experts in
the field, have meticulously updated and expanded this third edition while maintaining its systematic and methodical
approach. New chapters, 25% new images, and a practical, concise format make this reference indispensable for both
physicians and sonographers in the detection of congenital heart disease.
Thoroughly illustrated ultrasound images in color are accompanied by clear, colorful schematic drawings that depict
cardiac anomalies.
Numerous tables outline common and differentiating features of various cardiac malformations.
Disorders are discussed in terms of the ultrasound findings, with key points summarized at the end of each chapter.
The first half of the text covers the technical aspects of the cardiac exam and includes new chapters on risk factors
for cardiac defects, national and international guidelines for fetal cardiac screening and fetal echocardiography,
optimizing the cardiac examination, cardiac embryology, the three-vessel-trachea view, and the venous system.
The second half of the text features detailed discussions of fetal cardiac malformations, each presented in a
practical, methodical format that includes the definition, spectrum of disease and incidence, the use of gray scale,
color Doppler, 3D and early gestation ultrasound in diagnosis, followed by the differential diagnosis, prognosis, and
outcome.
