Atlas of Pediatric Echocardiography

Atlas of Pediatric Echocardiography by Dr. Filip Kucera is a comprehensive, visually rich guide for clinicians aiming to advance their echocardiography skills in pediatric patients. Designed for both beginners and advanced practitioners, the atlas combines detailed explanations with high-quality images to support accurate diagnosis and clinical decision-making. It is an essential resource not only for pediatric cardiologists but also for neonatologists, pediatric intensivists, and general pediatricians with an interest in cardiac imaging.

Key Features:

• Over 800 high-quality echocardiographic images, including normal anatomy and a wide range of congenital and acquired cardiac conditions
• Step-by-step guide to normal echocardiographic examination for reference and comparison
• Clear explanations accompanying all pathology images to aid interpretation and understanding
• Covers a broad spectrum of conditions, including:
• Segmental analysis of congenital heart disease
• Septal defects (atrial, ventricular, atrio-ventricular)
• Valve disorders (mitral, tricuspid)
• Outflow tract abnormalities
• Complex congenital heart lesions (Tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of great arteries, truncus arteriosus, single ventricle physiology)
• Vascular anomalies (PDA, coarctation, interruption, vascular rings)
• Coronary, pericardial, and myocardial diseases (myocarditis, cardiomyopathies)
• Inflammatory and infectious cardiac diseases (Kawasaki disease, rheumatic heart disease, infective endocarditis)
• Cardiac tumors, pulmonary hypertension, genetic syndromes
• Advanced topics: mechanical circulatory support, heart transplantation
• Ideal for practical learning, case-based review, and reference during clinical practice
