Reviews

"It is the only contemporary, in-depth, single author reference on heart development- a complex subject which takes a book to being to do justice to the detail and breadth of current knowledge."--British Journal of Hospital Medicine
"This book takes on the daunting task of making something most...consider labyrinthine, clearly understandable. The author provides readers with a holistic understanding of heart development. This well written book is an excellent reference on this subject."--Doody's
