Sommario/riassunto

This book is a ready-reckoner which deals with the echocardiographic evaluation of congenital heart diseases (CHD). It has been prepared with the objective of enabling all echocardiographers, especially the ones who do not deal with CHD routinely, to perform a complete 2D echocardiographic study on patients with congenital cardiac anomalies of varying complexities. Anatomic variants and classifications of each anomaly are discussed in detail inorder to provide a broader perspective of the conditions being dealt with. Clinically relevant



measurements and indices are covered to a great extent, equipping the examiner with all the necessary elements to prepare a complete final report. Special attention has been given to the evaluation of post-operative patients, who constitute the majority of adult CHD patients today. The book has been prepared in a concise manner, highlighting the most important points in each section. Most of the congenital cardiac anomalies have been dealt with comprehensively from the perspective of echocardiographic assessment. This manual provides all relevant details pertaining to the 2D echocardiographic diagnosis of congenital cardiac anomalies in a point-by-point format, which can come handy while dealing with complex cases, especially the rarer variants. This will be a valuable tool in the armour of every echocardiographer, including cardiologists, intensivists, anaesthetists, neonatologists, trainees, and interns.
