This second edition includes important new chapters on Specialized Echocardiographic Techniques and Abnormalities within the Cardiac Chambers, Proximal Vessels and Thorax.
Covers all areas of paediatric echocardiography, including fetus, neonate, child and adolescent diagnosisIncludes a comprehensive index that gives the clinician quick access to formulas and methods of obtaining quantitative information from echocardiograms
