A comprehensive work written by driving forces in the field, defining theessentials of congenital heart disease. Over the last 50 years, tremendous strides have been made in the treatmentof congenital heart disease. Many patients with congenital heart diseaseare now reaching adulthood and seeking medical care from cardiologists,internists, and family practitioners who do not historically deal withcongenital heart disease. Written by two acclaimed authorities andeducators in the field, Jesse E. Edwards Synopsis of Congenital HeartDisease provides these physicians with a richly illustrated refreshercourse, and a handy reference text, in the fundamentals of congenital heartdisease. In this book, Dr. Jesse Edwards shares his vast experience in a discussionof the fundamental anatomy and physiology associated with congenital heartdisease. The text provides succinct descriptions of the common and uncommonabnormalities of congenital heart disease and the principles underlyingtheir treatment, while 200 figures clearly demonstrate and guide the user tounderstand the essential nature of the characteristic defects andabnormalities discussed. This book will serve as a unique and useful reference to broaden theknowledge of adult cardiologists, internists, radiologists, cardiovascularnurses, nurse practitioners, cardiac catheterization personnel, and otherparamedical professionals who wish to understand more thoroughly thefundamentals of congenital heart disease.

Sudden cardiac death represents a highly heterogeneous group of cardiovascular disorders. While some may initially think of sudden death as primarily an arrhythmogenic event, this actually represents the minority of cases of sudden cardiac death. In the vast majority of cases, there is an underlying anatomic disorder of the cardiovascular system responsible for the ultimate hemodynamic collapse known as sudden cardiac death. This book will provide an atlas type review of ischemic and non-ischemic etiologies of sudden cardiac death. Beyond the atlas, however, will be a "clinical pathologic correlation" for each described disorder providing practicing clinicians with practical information to facilitate proper diagnosis and treatment. While an increasing array of noninvasive diagnostic tools continue to develop, the sad fact remains that many of the physicians and operators of these new diagnostic modalities have never actually seen specimens which demonstrate the fundamental pathologic abnormalities. This ability to see first hand the underlying pathology creates an opportunity to advance the science and enhance ones understanding of these disease processes. There is not a comprehensive text on this subject on the market today which provides clinical and patholigical material in such a comprehensive manner.
