This is a succinct guide to foetal ultrasound. The book is written in a user-friendly style and illustrated with ultrasound images accompanied by schematic drawings explaining the images. It is designed to aid the obstetrician-gynaecologist in approaching the foetal heart systematically and fully understanding the clinical significance of ultrasound findings. Coverage begins with reviews of the genetic aspects and epidemiology of congenital heart diseases and the goals of prenatal screening. Subsequent chapters present complete, concise information on anatomic landmarks of the foetal heart; the four-chamber view; the ventricular outflow tracts; short-axis views of the heart; Doppler and M-mode echocardiography; foetal cardiac biometry; and abnormal cardiac anatomy
