Clinical Recognition of Congenital Heart Disease: Expert Consult – Online and Print 5th Edition

Clinical Recognition of Congenital Heart Disease: Expert Consult – Online and Print 5th Edition

Advances in diagnosing and treating congenital heart disease, through cardiac medicine as well as surgery, have allowed many children, who formerly would have died, to survive through childhood and in many cases into adulthood. As a result, cardiologists are spending an increasing amount of time treating such patients, both children and adults, and consequently there is a real need for up-to-date and comprehensive information on this rapidly evolving area.

The extensively revised and fully-updated new edition of this classic text continues to provide unparalleled guidance on all of the clinical features of unoperated congenital heart disease, from birth through to adulthood. Written by a world-renowned authority on congenital heart disease, it offers complete coverage of the signs, symptoms and clinical manifestations of malpositioned, malformed or absent cardiovascular chambers, vessels and valves – using traditional as well as state-of-the-art technology.

  • Discusses the history, anatomic features, and physiologic consequences of unoperated congenital heart disease in each chapter.
  • Features the expertise of world-renowned authority on congenital heart disease, Dr. Joseph K. Perloff.
  • New chapter on Congenital Abnormalities of the Pericardium
  • Expanded material on genetics and developmental biology
  • Discussion of hot topics such as Ebstein’s Anomoly of the Tricuspid Valve

Handbook of Obstetric Medicine 5th Edition

Handbook of Obstetric Medicine 5th Edition

Medical professionals are often involved in the management of the pregnant patient without necessarily being experts on all the complications surrounding pregnancy. The Handbook of Obstetric Medicine addresses the most common and serious medical conditions encountered in pregnancy, including heart disease, thromboembolism, diabetes, skin problems, gastrointestinal disease, neurological problems, hormonal diseases, hypertension and pre-eclampsia, and more.

For each condition, the handbook includes a description of incidence, clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis, the effect of pregnancy, and management of the condition. The book also includes a detailed section focusing on the differential diagnosis of common symptoms including hypertension, chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, headaches, dizziness, abdominal pain, and more.

The symptoms and differential diagnoses are presented in an easy-to-read tabular format and include a description of important clinical features and potential areas of investigation. For those clinicians understandably reluctant to prescribe drugs during pregnancy, a useful appendix includes a list of contraindicated drugs. In addition, to assist in the interpretation of laboratory tests, a second appendix lists normal laboratory values in pregnancy, broken down by trimester.

The handbook uses a pragmatic and easy-to-use design by including tables, bullets, and “Points to remember” boxes for ease of reference. It is an essential on-the-spot guide for obstetricians, physicians, general practitioners, and midwives in both practice and training.
