The Illustrated Field Guide to Congenital Heart Disease and Repair - Folio, 2nd Edition was created as an alternative to the pocket-sized visual resource for pediatric cardiologists, nurses, residents, and medical students. In addition, it is intended as a quick reference for anesthesiologists, general pediatricians and adult cardiologists who see only the occasional patient with congenital heart disease. Profusely illustrated with chapters covering:1) Normal & Fetal Circulation 2) Congenital Heart Defects 3) Echocardiography 4) Electrophysiology 5) Catheterization Interventions 6) Surgical Repair 7) CU Post-operative care 8) Cardiac Pharmacology Written by leaders in the specialty, with illustrations by renowned illustrators Paul and Jasper Burns.

This book combines an exceptional wealth of precise, exquisite schematic drawings and high-quality images with clear explanatory text in order to provide readers with a crisp and clear understanding of all aspects of congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment and from the fetus to the adult. In format the book appears similar to a large collection of case reports covering all types of congenital heart disease, including complex lesions such as single ventricle and atrial isomerism. For each lesion, the illustrations are placed before the text so that the reader can gain a quick and general overview before going into more detail. The contents are as practical and concise as possible. The intention is that, despite its size, the book will serve as a handy reference for cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, obstetricians specializing in fetal sonography, nurses, trainees, students, researchers, and even patients and their families. This is a “must-have” bedside reference in the cardiac ward, the ICU, and the fetal sonography room and will even be valuable in outpatient clinics.
