Book Description

ISBN-10: 1853179051 | ISBN-13: 978-1853179051 | Publication Date: 2003 | Edition: 1

Beginning with embryology and concluding with congenital heart defects in the newborn, this textbook is for health care professionals who perform targeted organ scans or who have an interest in the fetal heart. Aimed at obstetricians, pediatric cardiologists and general cardiologists, it discusses treatment options-pharmacological or surgical interventions-available to affected fetuses, as well as the stages of heart disease, from embryology to adulthood. It also explores often-ignored areas such as the placenta, reproductive health of women with coronary heat disease, counseling of families, and fetal treatments now under development. Fetal Cardiology will be the new benchmark text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fetal Cardiography, May 23, 2006

This review is from: Fetal Cardiography: Embryology, Genetics, Physiology, Echocardiographic Evaluation, Diagnosis and Perinatal Management of Cardiac Diseases (Hardcover)

I think this is an excellent book for anyone performing fetal echocardiography. Limitations include limited information about Doppler flow studies and their interpretation. Also, there is limited information about how to get EF and CO on a fetus. No mention of the Tei index. Otherwise, this is a comprehensive book in understanding the pathophysiology of fetal heart. The chapter on the venous system is exceptional.

Working in the field of pediatric echo there are so many wonderful things to review and learn. This book really helped me prepare for fetal boards (ARDMS) and I learned something from each chapter. There are parts that I needed some explanation for which was wonderful, but if one does not have that support this book might be over your head, as it was mine in part.
