Echocardiography in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

This book provides cardiologists with access to the wealth of imaging from the Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart and Lung Institute in London. It will enable them to improve on their own skills and refine their imaging technique.

Congenital heart disease is gaining importance as a condition that effects not only the pediatric population but also the adult population, as many congenital cardiac conditions remain silent for years until accidentally discovered on routine check up.

Echocardiography in Adult Congenital Heart Disease provides cardiologists with access to the wealth of imaging from the Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart and Lung Institute in London to enable them to improve on their own skills and refine their imaging technique. The authors correlate this echocardiography experience with the pathological and surgical aspects of congenital heart defects.

Reveals the adult manifestations of congenital heart disease on non-invasive imaging Reviews all the current echocardiographic and magnetic resonance techniques for reviewing this group of patients Describes the importance of echocardiography and magnetic resonance in the clinical, surgical and pathologic aspects of congenital heart disease Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
