There continue to be disagreements concerning the embryology of the ventric ular septum and the nomenclature of its various parts, as well as on its phylogenetic derivation. It must be obvious that until such time as these uncertainties have been resolved it will not be possible to understand the pathogenesis of ventricular septal defects and other anomalies involving the ventricular septum. In an effort to clarify some of these difficulties a number of individuals, including anatomists, embryologists, pathologists, cardiologists, and sur geons, all acknowledged experts in their respective fields of endeavor, were invited to present their views and concepts in sessions devoted to the ventric ular septum. In this "Boerhaave Course", detailed descriptions of the normal anatomy, embryology, and phylogeny of the septum were followed by papers on ventricular septal defects, atrioventricular defects, straddling valves, and various forms of univentricular heart. Major contributions were made through clinical accounts of these anomalies. This course again clearly demonstrated the value of and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the recognition, understanding, diagnosis, and management of congenital cardiac disease. While obviously it could not be ex pected that all of the problems and uncertainties concerning the normal and abnormal ventricular septum would be resolved, the lively and frank dis cussions among all participants of the course undoubtedly contributed to a better understanding of the still existing difficulties. All ofthe contributors to this monograph should be congratulated for a job superbly well done.

The material contained in this book was presented at the Boerhaave Course which was held in Leiden, The Netherlands, on May 2 and 3, 1977. It deals with three topics of considerably recent interest, not only to cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons, but also to embryologists, anatomists and pathologists. Papers on the development and the normal anatomy of the conduction system include a discussion of the continuing controversy as to whether dis crete and anatomically distinct internodal pathways exist in the human heart. These are followed by descriptions of the abnormal anatomy and relation ships of the conduction system in certain complex cardiovascular anomalies. The rather startling discovery that there may be a second, ectopically located and functioning atrioventricular node and common bundle in addition to the usual, but non-functioning one has been of enormous importance in the surgical treatment of certain forms of congenital heart disease. The panel presentations comprising the first four papers on the topic of transposition of the great arteries highlight the widely differing views atld the continuing controversies concerning the nature and pathogenesis of this rela tively common and important anomaly. Descriptions of the special morpho logic features of ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis as they occur in association with transposition are followed by discussions concern ing recent advances in the surgical treatment of transposition, and the com mon and often troublesome postoperative arrhythmias.
