Handbook with targeted audience

Lisa H Hornberger being one of the author was a factor which made me purchase the book.

Its a nice attempt to provide outline of management in perinatal period and particularly the case scenarios may come handy to those not well verse in dealing with CHD in perinatal period.

The information provided is too general and superficial. The book appears to be suitable for only general obstretricians or for general refrence.

As a Paediatric Cardiologist I did not found it much useful.

It appears that book has not got much to add for people actively involved in hardcore maternal and fetal medicine.

Lindsay Allan and Lisa's previous book is bible and has stood the time.

If some one is looking for much information on fetal echocardiography, a word of caution the book is not meant for it.

One can buy it but need not have any regrets if one decides not to purchase one.
