The Oxford Textbook of Cardiac Anatomy delivers an authoritative and graphically detailed resource of the heart's structure, written by leading experts who have shaped the field through groundbreaking research and clinical insight.This comprehensive volume provides an in-depth description of all cardiac components as they appear in the living body, bridging basic anatomy with clinical relevance. Beginning with cardiac development and the pericardial coverings, the textbook guides readers through the anatomy of each chamber, the arterial pathways, and the atrioventricular and ventriculo-arterial junctions.Detailed accounts are provided of features such as the cardiac conduction system and mural architecture, authored by those responsible for major advances in cardiology and cardiac interventions. The arrangement of cardiomyocytes, the vascular and nervous systems, and the heart's conduction pathways are explored in depth, supported by cutting-edge imaging-including synchrotron techniques-and richly illustrated autopsy specimens. The book concludes with a comparative look at cardiac anatomy across animal species used in experimental research, offering valuable context for translational studies.Essential reading for anatomists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, and researchers, this textbook is a definitive reference for understanding the heart's structure in both diagnosing and treating cardiac diseases and interventions.

As a leading reference on pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease, Anderson's Pediatric Cardiology provides exhaustive coverage of pediatric cardiovascular anomalies, sequelae related to these anomalies, comorbidities and neurodevelopmental problems, and current methods for management and treatment. The newly streamlined 5th Edition addresses significant and ongoing changes in practice, including recent developments in fetal, neonatal, and adult congenital heart conditions. The outstanding illustration program provides superb visual guidance and is supplemented with a remarkable collection of more than 350 professionally curated images and videos, many new to this edition.According to Anderson’s Pediatric Cardiology, 5th edition editors, Tretter, et al: “Textbooks continue to serve as essential central repositories of knowledge for postgraduate education in paediatric cardiology, despite the widespread availability of digital learning tools. Recent studies confirm that trainees still value textbooks for their structure, depth, and accessibility, while also requesting improved pedagogy and organization.”

This classic textbook on cardiac anatomy has been updated in its fifth edition with additional high quality surgical and pathological photographs, as well as new information and recent findings of the last decade. Beginning with an overview of surgical approaches to the heart, the book goes on to discuss the surgical anatomy of the cardiac chambers, the valves, and the circulation and conduction system within the heart, moving on to cover malformations, lesions, and abnormalities. This edition is informed by the most up-to-date research findings, and a new chapter has been added which reviews cardiac development. A complimentary digital companion now accompanies the book, allowing readers to view the images in high-resolution on screen. Written from the stance of the cardiac surgeon, this updated book is essential reading for consultants and trainees in cardiac surgery, cardiology and cardiovascular radiology, and anatomists.

There are no recent books concerning the right heart, the function and characteristics of which are extremely important in congenital heart disease and is assuming increased importance in acquired heart disease. Since congenital malformation of the right heart is the most common congenital heart defect in newborn infants, it is important to have an up-to-date analysis of the key issues in understanding the anatomy and function of the right heart.

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome draws together the experiences of the leading experts in the field. Through their work in all aspects of congenital cardiac care, they have become acknowledged as the world leaders in the diagnostic, medical and social needs of children born with hypoplasia of the left heart. More importantly, for the first time the book recognizes the crucial contributions made by the families of these children. Diagnostic possibilities, options for medical and surgical treatment and a history of their evolution are looked into and the book also gives an insight into the longer-term effects that treatment has on the child and its family. As well as including contributions from medical clinicians, nurses, and psychologists, for the first time a forum is provided for the parents, who have complemented the contributions from the medical and nursing experts to provide a holistic view of the lives and experiences of the children born with this condition. No other publication, currently available, offers such a comprehensive overview of the care required by a child with hypoplasia of the left heart.This book provides the ultimate reference for anyone treating children with this heart condition, particularly paediatric cardiac clinical and nursing teams, radiologists and radiographers, obstetric medical and nursing teams, psychologists, pathologists, geneticists and workers in social care.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the basic science of the mitral valve needed to begin to comprehend both normal and the failing valve.

It contains nearly 100 chapters covering all aspects of heart disease in three populations: fetus with acquired and congenital heart diseases, children with acquired and congenital heart diseases, and adults with congenital heart diseases.
