Illustrated Field Guide To Congenital Heart Disease And Repair

A pocket-sized survey of pediatric cardiology, with clear color diagrams of defects, and illustrated chapters on cath lab interventions and surgical procedures. Written by leading physicians in the specialty, with illustrations by the artists who brought you Cove Point/Johns Hopkins Hospital web site for Congenital Heart Disease. Topics covered in this manual include: The Normal and Fetal Heart, Congenital Heart Defects, Catheterization Interventions, and Congenital Heart Surgeries.

The Illustrated Field Guide to Congenital Heart Disease and Repair, 2nd Edition was created as a pocket-sized visual resource for pediatric cardiologists, nurses, residents, and medical students. In addition, it is intended as a quick reference for anesthesiologists, general pediatricians and adult cardiologists who see only the occasional patient with congenital heart disease. Profusely illustrated with chapters covering:1) Normal & Fetal Circulation 2) Congenital Heart Defects 3) Echocardiography 4) Electrophysiology 5) Catheterization Interventions 6) Surgical Repair 7) CU Post-operative care 8) Cardiac Pharmacology Written by leaders in the specialty, with illustrations by renowned illustrators Paul and Jasper Burns.

Designed to meet the needs of clinicians working with adults with congenital heart disease, Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease , by Drs. Michael A. Gatzoulis, Gary D. Webb, and Piers E. F. Daubeney, offers essential guidance on the anatomical issues, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options available to practitioners today. This latest edition features completely updated content, including new information for nurses and nurse practitioners who, now more than ever, are playing an important role in the care of adults with CHD. You'll also access four new chapters, illustrated congenital defects, coverage of long-term outcomes, and much more. Drs. Gatzoulis, Webb, and Daubeney lead a team of experts ideally positioned to provide state-of-the-art global coverage of this increasingly important topic. Each disease-oriented chapter is written to a highly structured template and provides key information on incidence, genetics, morphology, presentation, investigation and imaging, and treatment and intervention. Congenital defects are illustrated with full-color line drawings and by the appropriate imaging modality (for example, EKG, x-ray, echocardiogram, MRI, CT, ). Provides coverage of long-term outcomes, including the management of pregnant patients and patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Features the addition of four new chapters: A Historic Perspective; Quality of Life in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension; Psychosocial Issues in ACHD; Supportive and Palliative Care for End-Stage ACHD.

This book combines an exceptional wealth of precise, exquisite schematic drawings and high-quality images with clear explanatory text in order to provide readers with a crisp and clear understanding of all aspects of congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment and from the fetus to the adult. In format the book appears similar to a large collection of case reports covering all types of congenital heart disease, including complex lesions such as single ventricle and atrial isomerism. For each lesion, the illustrations are placed before the text so that the reader can gain a quick and general overview before going into more detail. The contents are as practical and concise as possible. The intention is that, despite its size, the book will serve as a handy reference for cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, obstetricians specializing in fetal sonography, nurses, trainees, students, researchers, and even patients and their families. This is a “must-have” bedside reference in the cardiac ward, the ICU, and the fetal sonography room and will even be valuable in outpatient clinics.

This important revision presents the accumulated knowledge of its highly-regarded author, Dr. Abraham Rudolph, who is internationally recognized as one of the world's leading pioneers in the field of Pediatric Cardiology. Fully revised and updated, the book includes sections considering the changes in pathophysiology with growth into adulthood and the effects of various treatment approaches. The author explains the physiology of normal fetal circulation and the effects of congenital cardiac lesions, with particular reference to the interactions between the lesions and fetal cardiovascular development.

This practical manual provides a comprehensive overview of how the cardiac catheterization laboratory in a pediatric cardiology division works. Chapters are organized in the order in which a case progresses. Hemodynamics is covered in depth.
