Heart Disease and Pregnancy by Gatzoulis, 2nd Edition

This comprehensive and authoritative text on heart disease in pregnancy – one of the leading causes of maternal death – will be of value to a wide audience of obstetricians, cardiologists, anaesthetists, midwives and cardiac nurses. It provides consensus guidelines of great practical value in a compact and convenient format. Written by a multidisciplinary team, it covers both maternity and cardiac care. Contents range from pre-conception counselling and contraception, through practical templates for antenatal and intrapartum care, to long-term outcome for both mother and baby. It covers all causes of heart disease, both congenital and acquired. Thoroughly updated, this new edition has reorganised the consensus statements about priorities in management. In addition, each chapter now starts with a summary of ‘Practical Practice Points’ to aid quick revision when seeing a patient with a specific problem. A new section on heart and lung transplantation has been added since the first edition.

Key Features:

• Includes consensus statements covering the main management options – there are no readily accessible guidelines about the management of heart disease in pregnancy which are comprehensible to obstetricians, cardiologists and allied disciplines. This book provides guidance based on consensus – not just the opinions of individual clinicians
• All chapters are edited by the same two editors with an emphasis on a clear writing style – information is easier to assimilate
• Comprehensive coverage of the topic – covers the whole range of heart disease including congenital, acquired, ischemic and transplant
