Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Visual Guide to Neonatal Cardiology covers the spectrum of cardiac conditions that could occur in the neonate. Presented in seven sections the book covers: embryogenesis of the normal and abnormal hearts; anatomy and physiology of the neonatal heart as it relates to the fetal heart and the heart of an older child; epidemiology and genetics of cardiac defects; approach to history-taking and physical examination of the newborn suspected to have cardiac disease; manifestations of neonatal cardiac disease; non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tool to assess the neonatal heart; medical, electrophysiological, transcatheter and surgical treatment modalities for neonates with heart disease; and specific cardiac lesions that manifest in the neonatal age group.

This book:

• Contains over 614 illustrations, including clinical photographs, chest x-rays, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, angiocardiograms, 3D computed tomogramphy, magnetic resonance imaging, pathologic specimens, and other relevant visual aids
• Discusses the natural history of fetal heart disease and the rationale, indications, technique, and impact of fetal cardiac intervention
• Reviews the anatomy and physiology of the neonatal cardiovascular system, including differences within the fetal, transitional, neonatal, child and adult circulatory system
• Highlights key steps for taking a patient history, including detailed discussion of the cardiac examination such as, inspection, palpation and auscultation of heart sounds and murmurs
• Presents over 35 morphologic conditions with sections covering introduction, epidemiology, etiology with accepted or postulated embryogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, physical examination findings, diagnostic evaluation, management, and prognosis
• Includes a neonatal formulary reviewing selected medications currently used for treatment of perioperative low cardiac output, congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, sedation, pain and anticoagulation in neonates

This book is an ideal resource for pediatric cardiologists, neonatologists, pediatric cardiac pathologists, fellows-in-training, residents, students, nurses, sonographers, technicians, and other professionals treating newborns with heart disease.
