About this title

Synopsis

This is the latest edition of the text the New England Journal of Medicine has called a "classic". Extensively revised and fully up to date, the 4th Edition articulates detailed coverage of all of the clinical features of unoperated congenital heart disease--from birth through adulthood. Readers will recognize the signs, symptoms, and clinical manifestations of malpositioned, malformed, or absent cardiovascular chambers, vessels, and valves using state-of-the-art technology. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the history, anatomy, and physiology of congenital heart diseases to improve understanding of clinical infections seen in natural history, physical signs, electrocardiography, radiology, and echocardiography / Doppler. Coverage of both laboratory diagnosis and routine disciplined analyses of data provides a balanced presentation of material. Emphasis on logical thought as opposed to memorisation familiarises readers with the rationales behind procedures and uses of technology. Up-to-date material on echocardiographic / Doppler includes colour flow imaging to reflect current technological advances.
