Accounting for the huge strides in technological development over the past few years, as well as of recent research and advances, this text updates cutting-edge information on topics such as:
- embryology.
- cardiovascular development.
- placental implantation and development.
- intracardiac shunt malformations.
- fetal cardiac tumors.
New in this edition
- DVD with over 50 video clips, including 4D ultrasound.
- high quality illustrations in colour throughout.
- new information on the cardiac impact of twin-twin transfusion syndrome, cerebral outcomes in CHD, and congestive heart failure.
