Description
Springer Congenital Diseases In The Right Heart 2008 Edition by Andrew N. Redington Glen Van Arsdell Robert H. Anderson
Congenital Heart Disease in the Right Heart' is an exhaustive review of the malformations of the right ventricle with particular emphasis on the ability of the ventricle to support circulation and the results of right heart malformations on circulation. Edited by the world's foremost authorities on the subject the book benefits from an international team of contributors.
