Title: Echocardiography in pediatric and adult congenital heart disease
Description: Echocardiography has transformed how clinicians diagnosis patients with congenital heart disease. Noninvasive and more detailed than an x-ray, a complete cardiovascular imaging and circulation evaluation are the first diagnostic procedures used to assess heart malformations. Pediatric experts Eidem, Cetta, and O'Leary from the Mayo Clinic combined 40 articles from authorities in the field to provide a comprehensive review of congenital anomalies and the use of cardiovascular ultrasound. Contents include advanced techniques such as tissue Doppler, three-dimensional echocardiography, intracardiac and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
