  Adults with Congenital Heart Disease
  • Congenital Heart Disease in Adults
    Joseph K. Perloff, MD and John S. Child, MD. 406 pp.Philadelphia, Pa: WB Saunders; 1997. ISBN 0-7216-2998-9.
    

    The organization of the book highlights the multisystem, problem-oriented approach to healthcare delivery in this group of patients. Complete and careful indexing allows identification of issues pertinent to specific anatomic lesions, whether treated by surgery or not. The book is amply illustrated. A unique collection of high-quality prints exemplifies specific physical findings, pathological and histological specimens, x-rays, and angiographic and echocardiographic views in addition to ECGs, surgical drawings, and historical photographs.
    
    Learning from this book is a pleasurable experience for the student of adult congenital heart disease at any level. The wealth of information ranges from the basic to the complex. The end product is luxuriously assembled as can only be done when knowledge meets experience. Perloff and Child have provided us with a classic textbook.

  • Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease
    Edited by Michael A. Gatzoulis, Gary D. Webb, and Piers E.F. Daubeney. 517 pp., illustrated. Philadelphia, Churchill Livingstone, 2003. ISBN 0-443-07103-9.
    

    The book has several sections. The first, entitled "General Principles," is an extensive discussion of cardiac morphology, genetics, procedures (both percutaneous and surgical) for the treatment of congenital abnormalities, arrhythmias, and heart and lung transplantation. Subsequent sections concisely discuss septal defects, valvular disorders, abnormalities of left and right ventricular outflow, and cyanotic conditions, the most important of which are tetralogy of Fallot and Eisenmenger's syndrome. The final sections deal with uncommon and obscure abnormalities, such as univentricular hearts and coronary arterial anomalies. Within each chapter that is devoted to a specific abnormality, the discussion focuses on long-term management, prognosis, and the risks associated with pregnancy, noncardiac surgery, and infective endocarditis. Each chapter contains an abundance of illustrative diagrams as well as numerous morphologic, radiographic, and echocardiographic images. In addition, much of the most important information is highlighted in carefully constructed tables.
    
    This book should serve very effectively as an accessible resource for the internist or cardiologist who does not have extensive training in congenital heart disease. Its organization and highly focused discussions should allow the reader to locate needed information easily and efficiently.

  • Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult
    By Welton M. Gersony and Marlon S. Rosenbaum. 304 pp., illustrated. New York, McGraw-Hill, 2001. ISBN 0-07-032909-5.
    
    

    This monograph does not contain all the information that one might conceivably desire about a specific congenital cardiac abnormality. It is precisely designed not to be exhaustive. Rather, it is intended to be an easily accessible resource for the general internist (in training or practice) or the cardiologist without extensive training in congenital heart disease. It is undoubtedly successful in these terms. For such physicians, the patient with congenital heart disease can be intimidating and anxiety provoking. The design, style, and content of the book ensure that it will succeed in alleviating much of that intimidation and anxiety.
