This book brings together for the first-time two-dimensional echocardiograms of the heart with pathologic specimens or other imaging modalities such as computerized tomographic or magnetic resonance images in order to compare them. On activation the echocardiograms move in real-time and correlate with the heart specimens, providing echo-morphological interplay in a great number of commonly imaged congenital cardiac conditions. The complementary imaging modalities allow for greater appreciation, both of the features of the echocardiogram and of the morphological specimens.The atlas is designed for both the novice and the expert. This work is a treatise or an atlas rather than a complete textbook. It examines the correlations between morphologic images of congenital cardiac lesions to those made by cross-sectional echocardiography. It will be a reference useful to educators, parents, and physicians practicing in a variety of fields including pre-and postgraduate physicians in general or those in specific fields such as pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, cardiac anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, intensive care, radiology, pathology and even obstetricians practicing fetal ultrasound and the specialty of adult congenital heart disease.
