About the author
NORMAN H SILVERMAN MD Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology and Radiology) at the University of California in San Francisco from 1975–2002. He worked at Stanford University and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital as a Professor of Pediatrics where he was also ‘The Roma and Marvin Auerback Scholar in Pediatric Cardiology’ from 2002-2012. He is currently emeritus professor at the Benioff Hospital for the University of California in San Francisco and at Stanford University. He continues his writing and teaching, locally and globally. He received both the Founders Award and the Award for Excellence in Teaching in Pediatric Cardiology from the American Society of Echocardiography. His work at UCSF established echocardiography as a primary diagnostic modality in pediatric cardiology. He was the first to define the echocardiographic criteria for diagnosing the neonate in need of treatment for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants and defined the apical four-chamber view for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, considered an essential element in all echocardiographic studies today. He also introduced transesophageal echocardiography as a standard for managing intra-operative repair of children with congenital heart diseases and was an early investigator in fetal echocardiography.
Summary
This book brings together for the first-time two-dimensional echocardiograms of the heart with pathologic specimens or other imaging modalities such as computerized tomographic or magnetic resonance images in order to compare them. On activation the echocardiograms move in real-time and correlate with the heart specimens, providing echo-morphological interplay in a great number of commonly imaged congenital cardiac conditions. The complementary imaging modalities allow for greater appreciation, both of the features of the echocardiogram andof the morphological specimens.
The atlas is designed for both the novice and the expert. This work is a treatise or an atlas rather than a complete textbook. It examines the correlations between morphologic images of congenital cardiac lesions to those made bycross-sectional echocardiography. It will be a reference useful to educators, parents, and physicians practicing in a variety of fields including pre-and postgraduate physicians in general or those in specific fields such as pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, cardiac anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, intensive care, radiology, pathology and even obstetricians practicing fetal ultrasound and the specialty of adult congenital heart disease.
