Visual Guide to Neonatal Cardiology

The Visual Guide to Neonatal Cardiology is a comprehensive, visually rich reference for the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of cardiac disease in newborns. Designed for neonatologists, pediatric cardiologists, and trainees, this guide emphasizes a practical, evidence-based approach while providing a thorough understanding of both fetal and neonatal cardiac physiology, pathology, and clinical care.

Key Features

• Extensive visual content: Over 900 color illustrations, including patient photographs, chest X-rays, ECGs, echocardiograms, angiograms, 3D CT scans, MRI, and pathologic specimens.
• Fetal to neonatal perspective: Covers the natural history of fetal heart disease and fetal cardiac interventions, detailing indications, techniques, and outcomes.
• Comprehensive anatomy & physiology: Reviews the cardiovascular system across fetal, transitional, neonatal, child, and adult stages.
• Clinical guidance: Step-by-step approach to history-taking, detailed cardiac examination, and recognition of heart sounds and murmurs.
• Morphologic conditions: Discusses over 35 congenital and acquired cardiac conditions, including epidemiology, embryology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management, and prognosis.
• Neonatal formulary: Provides practical medication guidance for perioperative care, low cardiac output, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, sedation, pain management, and anticoagulation in neonates.
• Practical reference: Integrates visual learning with clinical application, making it ideal for bedside reference, teaching, and exam preparation.
