Fully revised and updated, Congenital Diseases of the Heart includes sections considering the changes in pathophysiology with growth into adulthood and the effects of various treatment approaches. It explains the physiology of normal fetal circulation and the effects of congenital cardiac lesions, with particular reference to the interactions between the lesions and fetal cardiovascular development.
