Congenital Heart Defects, Simplified First Edition

Congenital Heart Defects, Simplified is a well-organized, easy-to-read resource for the busy echocardiographer who needs access to information immediately. It is also an excellent guide for medical and nursing students and even parents seeking to understand congenital heart defects. The book includes full descriptions of the 30 most common heart defects, ranging from familiar defects like pulmonary stenosis and aortic coarctation to more uncommon ones, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome and truncus arteriosus. Each defect is explained in a two-page spread with bullet-point descriptions on the right-hand page and full-color illustrations (that include surgical repairs) on the left. The 90 full-color illustrations will further enhance understanding of this complex subject area. Congenital Heart Defects, Simplified is a Pediatric Registry Review offering readers the opportunity to earn 30 CMEs through a self-guided, 300-question on-line test. Students preparing for pediatric certification will also find the review questions helpful as a practice exam.
