Fetal Heart Disease and Fetal Cardiac Intervention

It provides a detailed understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the neonatal cardiovascular system, including differences within the fetal, transitional, neonatal, child, and adult circulatory system.

Key Steps for Taking a Patient History

The guide highlights key steps for taking a patient history, including a detailed discussion of the cardiac examination (inspection, palpation, and auscultation of heart sounds and murmurs). It 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.
