'In the digital era, most physicians caring for patients with heart disease are not purchasing and shelving textbooks. This fact calls to question what roles this book will have in medical education, as a reference, and in the literature in general. In my view, this text is a treasure-trove of excellent information focusing on theperinatal patient with heart disease.'John Moore, Congenital Cardiology Today
