Authored by the originator of the standard nomenclature for this
spectrum of disorders, Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical,
Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental Analysis discusses the
history, anatomic features, and physiologic consequences of CHD-in
one authoritative resource. The Van Praagh approach to the
segmental classification of CHD, developed and implemented by Dr.
Richard Van Praagh in the 1960s at Boston Children's Hospital,
remains widely used today, facilitating communication among
radiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and pediatricians who are
involved in the diagnosis, characterization, and management of this
disease. This unique atlas offers complete coverage of the
ubiquitous Van Praagh "language" of CHD, including the signs,
symptoms, and clinical manifestations of malpositioned, malformed,
or absent cardiovascular chambers, vessels, and valves using
traditional as well as state-of-the-art technology. Based upon the
systematic, widely accepted Van Praagh system of three-part
notation used to succinctly describe the visceroatrial situs, the
orientation of the ventricular loop, and the position and relation
of the great vessels. Demonstrates how the Van Praagh approach
facilitates interpreting and reporting findings through cardiac
imaging with CT, MR, and ultrasonography, including fetal cardiac
imaging. Presents the pathologic anatomy that pediatric and adult
cardiologists, radiologists, and echocardiographers need to
understand in order to make accurate diagnoses in complex
congenital heart disease; as well as the pathologic anatomy that
interventionists, pediatric cardiac surgeons, and adult congenital
heart surgeons need to know in order to manage their patients
successfully. Features more than 550 high-quality images to help
you visualize and recognize malformations. Shares the knowledge and
expertise of a world-renowned authority on congenital heart
disease-a master teacher and the originator of the Van Praagh
segmental classification system. Explores the synergy between the
various disciplines who manage patient care, including surgeons,
radiologists, cardiologists, pathologists, and pediatricians.
