Book is excellent and an upgrade over the previous edition. More illustrations as well as the addition of color. Still relatively affordable price.

Excellent book for abnormal fetal cardiac structural abnormalities. Does not cover much normal, though. Recommend Alfred Abu-hamad's book for that.

FETAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY by mia (Lenoir City, TN)

This book is tremendous. I have read it completely for the first time and plan to go back to chapter one and start taking notes. I'm preparing for the new ARDMS fetal echo boards. I purchased another fetal echo book thinking it would be perfect because it cost 179.00 from amazon--well I was wrong this book is written by a sonographer for a sonographer. This book is an in depth approach that follows the heart from embryology to Double outlet right ventricle to arrythmias. I think this book will be a great addition to my personal library at work or home. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!
