Fetal Cardiology: Embryology, Genetics, Physiology, Echocardiography Evaluation, Diagnosis and Perinatal Management of Cardiac Diseases, the leading comprehensive book on the market today, now returns with a major revision.

Accounting for the huge strides in technological development over the past few years, as well as of recent research and advances, this text updates cutting-edge information on topics such as:

• embryology
• cardiovascular development
• placental implantation and development
• intracardiac shunt malformations
• congenital heart defects in the newborns
• fetal cardiac surgery
• fetal cardiac tumors

New to the Second Edition:

• CD-ROM with video clips of 4D ultrasound
• high quality illustrations essential for diagnostic echocardiography
• information pertaining to the huge strides in technological development that have occurred since the previous edition
