Fetal cardiology has developed dramatically into a subspecialty in the past 25 years. The majority of people examining the fetal heart are not 'experts' in fetal cardiology and therefore find interpreting images, particularly in case of abnormality, rather difficult. This book is designed as a practical guide, to be kept near the ultrasound machine, for all those performing fetal heart scans, but without the expertise of a fetal cardiologist. The aim is to allow the user to recognize the common forms of fetal cardiac abnormality and to appreciate the associated lesions and outcome. The book has a large number of illustrations to enable the reader to visualize the different types of problem and the various forms in which they may manifest. There are relatively few books published in the field of fetal cardiology. This book is aimed at all sonographers, obstetricians and radiologists performing obstetric ultrasound scans and at paediatric cardiologists, both at consultant and trainee level. Thus, this book should fulfill this unmet need in the market, although it is not designed as a comprehensive reference textbook in fetal cardiology.

Echocardiography is essential in the practice of pediatric cardiology. A clinical pediatric cardiologist is expected to be adept at the non-invasive diagnosis of congenital heart disease and those who plan to specialize in echocardiography will need to have knowledge of advanced techniques. Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease addresses the needs of trainees and practitioners in this field, filling a void caused by the lack of material in this fast-growing area. This new title comprehensively covers the echocardiographic assessment of congenital heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, plus acquired heart disease in children. Topics covered include: ultrasound physics laboratory set-up a protocol for a standard pediatric echocardiogram quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function in depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations acquired pediatric heart disease topics of special interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography The approach of this book is a major advancement for educational materials in the field of pediatric cardiology, and greatly enhances the experience for the reader. An accompanying DVD with moving images of the subjects covered in the textbook will further enhance the learning experience.

Foetal echocardiography is a test used to diagnose cardiac conditions in the foetal stage. Congenital heart disease is a leading cause of infant mortality, and structural abnormalities of the foetal heart are often missed. The 160+ full colour images in this Atlas will help obstetricians, gynaecologists and cardiologists differentiate between what is normal and what is abnormal from case to case. The second edition of The Atlas of Fetal Echocardiography explains the concepts of foetal cardiac imaging in a simple and well structured manner. The book consists of 15 chapters, with key points detailed at the end of each section. The lucid language and vivid illustrations of this new edition make each topic easy to understand, from basic embryology to the diagnosis of structural defects. Full pictorial explanations of new developments in the field of foetal heart examination and a supplementary DVD, further enhance this book. Key points Fully illustrated new edition with DVD Simple explanations of foetal cardiac imaging including chapter on basics of Doppler Details new developments in the field of foetal echocardiography First edition published in 2011

This practical book describes a systematic approach to the ultrasound examination of the fetal heart based on accepted screening recommendations. The written content is enhanced by images and videos of both normal and abnormal sonographic findings. Fetal Cardiology: A Practical Approach to Diagnosis and Management goes further than simply describing core screening views. It includes extended views of the fetal heart, the use of Doppler techniques and assessment of fetal cardiac function. “Variants” which can be encountered in practice are described as well as the features of the major groups of cardiac abnormalities and fetal arrhythmias. Because the authors include experienced fetal and paediatric cardiologists, the focus is not only on diagnostic features but also the approach to postnatal care and prognosis. This content is enhanced by inclusion of chapters relating to associated fetal abnormalities, the genetics of congenital heart disease and new imaging modalities such as MRI of the fetal heart. The book equips all those using ultrasound to image the fetus with a clear concise reference to meet the challenge of new guidelines and to expand their knowledge of complementary echocardiographic techniques and management. It details why prenatal recognition of congenital heart disease is being prioritised to allow for parental choice, recognition of associated abnormalities and improvement of postnatal outcome. As such, this book will be important for all professionals, whether they be a cardiologist, fetal medicine specialist, sonographer or midwife.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the anatomic and functional evaluation of a normal and an abnormal foetal heart. Beginning with an introduction to foetal echocardiography, guidelines for performing a foetal echocardiogram, and indications and timing, the following sections discuss different foetal cardiac defects, including arrhythmias and heart failure. The final chapters provide in depth discussion on genetics and congenital heart disease (CHD), and the management of pregnancy after foetal CHD diagnosis. Each topic concludes with a summary and key points and is further enhanced by clinical images. Key points Comprehensive guide to the evaluation of a normal and abnormal foetal heart Provides guidance from both an anatomic and functional approach Explains how to perform a foetal echocardiogram, its indications and timing In depth discussion on management of foetal congenital heart disease
