Recent advances in non-invasive techniques have brought about rapid progress in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease. Angiocardiography provides a complete picture of the cavities and vessels of the heart, enabling congenital malformations to be easily identified, and the course of management charted. In this book, a selection of excellent angiocardiograms are used to illustrate an integrated approach to the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease. The text is comprehensive, concise and readable and deals with both the common and rarer disorders of the heart.
Clinical Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease is the latest edition of this comprehensive, highly illustrated guide to the diagnosis of different forms of congenital heart disease. The book is divided into four parts; the first section covers the basics of congenital heart disease, followed by sections on acyanotic lesions and cyanotic lesions, with each section covering an extensive range of defects and disorders. The final section provides information on foetal echocardiography and transcatheter interventions. This new edition features ‘notes’ which emphasise important points, and provides detailed information on the role of electrocardiography, radiography and echocardiography in diagnosis. Enhanced by 345 images and illustrations in full colour, Clinical Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease is an essential update for cardiologists.

This book combines an exceptional wealth of precise, exquisite schematic drawings and high-quality images with clear explanatory text in order to provide readers with a crisp and clear understanding of all aspects of congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment and from the fetus to the adult. In format the book appears similar to a large collection of case reports covering all types of congenital heart disease, including complex lesions such as single ventricle and atrial isomerism. For each lesion, the illustrations are placed before the text so that the reader can gain a quick and general overview before going into more detail. The contents are as practical and concise as possible. The intention is that, despite its size, the book will serve as a handy reference for cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, obstetricians specializing in fetal sonography, nurses, trainees, students, researchers, and even patients and their families. This is a “must-have” bedside reference in the cardiac ward, the ICU, and the fetal sonography room and will even be valuable in outpatient clinics.
