'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.



Andrew N. Redington is an international expert of the right heart. Robert H. Anderson is world-renowned as a morphologist and pathologist. Glen Van Arsdell is a rising star in surgery for congenital heart disease, particularly those affecting the right heart.


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.

Andrew N. Redington is an international expert of the right heart. Robert H. Anderson is world-renowned as a morphologist and pathologist. Glen Van Arsdell is a rising star in surgery for congenital heart disease, particularly those affecting the right heart.
