Produktbeschreibung

To aid in unraveling the complexities of the causation of congenital malformations, various influences on their frequency are considered in this book.

An introductory record of the history of perinatal mortality in the last three centuries gives foundation for the discussion of death in contemporary decades.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is an epidemiologist's approach to congenital malformations of the heart which relates those malformations to infant and perinatal mortality. ... It is written for anyone who cares for patients with congenital heart disease: pediatric cardiologists, adult congenital heart disease practitioners, nurses, surgeons, and anesthesiologists. It is really written for everyone in the entire field of congenital heart disease." (Douglas Moodie, Doody's Book Review, October, 2007)
