![]() ![]() It is aimed at all sonographers, fetal medicine specialists, obstetricians, cardiac technicians/physiologists and radiologists performing obstetric ultrasound scans, as well as paediatric cardiologists with an interest in fetal cardiology.Ĭongenital heart disease (CHD) is known as series of structural and functional lesions of the major blood vessels and the heart itself during the time period of embryogenesis. This book reflects over 20 years of personal experience as a specialist fetal cardiologist, which has included teaching a range of healthcare professionals on how to look at the fetal heart in a structured way. The book has a large number of clearly labelled illustrations to allow the reader to recognise the different types of cardiac problem they may encounter and the various forms in which they can manifest. The book also provides information on the associated lesions and outcomes from fetal life. The aim of the book is to provide a logical and clear approach to scanning the normal heart and how to easily recognise the common forms of fetal cardiac anomalies. This book is designed as a practical guide, to be kept near the ultrasound machine, for all those performing fetal heart scans without the expertise of a fetal cardiologist. Most health professionals involved in examining the fetal heart are not 'experts' in fetal cardiology and may find interpreting images difficult, particularly in cases with a cardiac abnormality. Fetal cardiology has developed into an exciting new subspecialty over the last 30 years. ![]()
