Rao P. Syamasundar, Vidyasaga Dharmapuri (eds.) Perinatal Cardiology: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Cardiotext Publishing, 2015. — 1223 p. — ISBN: 9781935395935Perinatal cardiology is an important developing field as high quality ultrasound is used on a growing number of pregnant women, and diagnosis prior to birth will become a more common occurrence. In addition, highly sensitive noninvasive diagnostic tools, advances in neonatal care and anesthesia, evolution of transcatheter interventional procedures and performance of complicated surgical procedures in the neonate and young infant have advanced to such an extent that almost all congenital cardiac defects can be diagnosed and “corrected.” Illustrated with over 500 figures, this book by leaders in the fields of pediatric cardiology, neonatology, pediatric cardiovascular surgery and interventional pediatric cardiology focuses on congenital heart defect issues during the perinatal period: prenatal (before birth) and neonatal (first month after birth).Audience: Pediatric cardiologists, cardiologists, neonatologists, maternal-fetal specialists, pediatric intensivists, cardiovascular surgeons, and house-staff in pediatric cardiology and neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.Perinatal Circulation
