The British Medical Association honored A Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography: Normal and Abnormal Hearts. 3rd Edition with these prestigious awards.
Lavishly illustrated and easy to use, this comprehensive guide covers every aspect of fetal heart examination and all major cardiac malformations. World-renowned experts in the field, Drs. Abuhamad and Chaoui, have meticulously updated and expanded this third edition while maintaining its systematic and methodical approach. New chapters, 25% new images, and a practical, concise format make this reference indispensable for both physicians and sonographers in the detection of congenital heart disease.
- Thoroughly illustrated ultrasound images in color are accompanied by clear, colorful schematic drawings that depict cardiac anomalies. Numerous tables outline common and differentiating features of various cardiac malformations.
- Disorders are discussed in terms of the ultrasound findings, with key points summarized at the end of each chapter.
- The first half of the text covers the technical aspects of the cardiac exam and includes new chapters on risk factors for cardiac defects, national and international guidelines for fetal cardiac screening and fetal echocardiography, optimizing the cardiac examination, cardiac embryology, the three-vessel-trachea view, and the venous system.
- The second half of the text features detailed discussions of fetal cardiac malformations, each presented in a practical, methodical format that includes the definition, spectrum of disease and incidence, the use of gray scale, color Doppler, 3D and early gestation ultrasound in diagnosis, followed by the differential diagnosis, prognosis, and outcome.

Review
The British Medical Association honored A Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography: Normal and Abnormal Hearts. 3rd Edition with these prestigious awards.
“This beautifully produced book is much more than the ‘practical guide’ it claims to be. It also brings in information about differential diagnosis, prognosis and outcome to make it a comprehensive textbook in fetal cardiology for the imaging specialist. As such, it is a worthy winner for the BMA medical book of the year award,” said Mark Porter, BMA Council Chair in reference to “A Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography: Normal and Abnormal Hearts.”
"The third edition of this wonderful guide to fetal echocardiography includes access to a website with the online version."
"The audience is maternal-fetal medicine physicians and trainees, although sonographers would also find the book helpful."
"The book begins with an excellent discussion of the rationale for cardiac imaging, and it is broken down into specific anomalies in addition to techniques."
"This is one of the best books that I have reviewed in some time. I will be referring it to my fellows for issues regarding cardiac images."
