Clinical Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease is the latest edition of this comprehensive, highly illustrated guide to the diagnosis of different forms of congenital heart disease.

The book is divided into four parts; the first section covers the basics of congenital heart disease, followed by sections on acyanotic lesions and cyanotic lesions, with each section covering an extensive range of defects and disorders. The final section provides information on foetal echocardiography and transcatheter interventions.

This new edition features ‘notes’ which emphasise important points, and provides detailed information on the role of electrocardiography, radiography and echocardiography in diagnosis. Enhanced by 345 images and illustrations in full colour, Clinical Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease is an essential update for cardiologists.
