Summary:

A Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography: Normal and Abnormal Hearts, Second Edition, is a simple and easy-to-use guide to fetal echocardiography that will help physicians and sonographers obtain a complete evaluation of the normal and abnormal fetal heart, The books is written in a user-friendly style and thoroughly illustrated with ultrasound images accompanied by schematic drawings. This edition presents a comprehensive approach to the examination of the fetal heart and covers all major cardiac malformations. Chapters include Doppler in fetal echocardiography, three-dimensional ultrasound in fetal echocardiography, first and early second trimester imaging of the fetal heart, and an updated genetics section. This book, written by internationally recognized experts in fetal echocardiography, is a must have for physicians and sonographers interested in this field.

Features Include:

Color Doppler, three-dimensional and first trimester fetal echocardiography

Detailed discussion on all major cardiac anomalies

Updated sections on normal fetal cardiac anatomy and genetics of congenital heart defects

Schematic line art illustrating key imaging, three-dimensional and first trimester ulrasound images accompanying each cardiac abnormality
