Covering every aspect of fetal heart examination and all major cardiac malformations, A Practical Guide to Fetal
chocardiography is widely acknowledged as the definitive text in this challenging field.
This award-winning title clearly depicts examples of commonly seen abnormalities and day winning title clearly depicts
examples of commonly seen abnormalities and day-to-day cases, as well as rare pathology.
Authored by renowned experts, the fully updated fourth edition is a lavishly illustrated, easy-to-read text designed to
serve as a comprehensive reference for all practitioners involved in cardiac imaging.

* Features significant revisions including several new chapters, new artwork, and updated reference lists.

* Discusses disorders in terms of the ultrasound findings with key points summarized at the end of each
chapter. Images are accompanied by clear, colorful schematic drawings that depict cardiac abnormalities.

* Features the addition of Approach to Diagnosis, an algorithm at the end of each chapter to assist
providers in reaching the proper diagnosis.

* Includes numerous tables that outline common and differentiating features of various cardiac
malformations.

* Covers the technical aspects of the cardiac exam in the first half of the text; the second half 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.

* Features a practical, concise, easy-to-use format, making it indispensable for both physicians and
sonographers in the detection of congenital heart disease.

* Winner of British Medical Association Awards 2016: BMA Medical Book of the Year and Obstetrics and
Gynecology - First Prize.
