"Each chapter details the conditions associated with the anomaly and then describes the treatments offered and their prognosis. Every chapter is extremely wellreferenced and thus enables further studies. Enclosed within the book is an excellent CD providing video clips of the techniques described in the text, which leads to greater understanding and also a series of questions relating to each chapter... My current medical students report that this book is very popular and especially useful for revision." Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, April 2010

"This book is a good addition to a departmental book shelf, for use when a cardiac defect is suspected. It is also helpful for anyone studying the fetal heart in depth, as the questions will enable them to test themselves prior to formal examinations."Gill Harrison, Senior Lecturer / Ultrasound Programme Director, City University London
