This Atlas is illustrated with rich pictures of cardiac surgical specimens. It not only contains normal heart specimens but also dissects those specimens, taking pictures from various angles to create a three-dimensional representation. It also includes reviews of the specimens’ pathological reviews. Chapter 1 through 10 introduce the normal anatomy of the cardiac chambers and surgical approaches to the heart, while chapter 11 through 28 describe 18 kinds of congenital heart defects. There are a total of over 1,000 images and illustrations in this book, which will be of great interest not only to the surgeons, but also to the cardiologists, anaesthesiologists and surgical pathologists.
“This surgical atlas, composed predominantly of cardiac surgical specimens, covers normal cardiac anatomy, surgical approaches, and congenital heart defects. … The audience is primarily surgeons and pathologists. Students and trainees in these disciplines will find it particularly valuable for its elucidation of many different types of complex cardiac anatomy. … It is also useful for cardiologists and anesthesiologists working closely with cardiac surgery patients. ” (Michael Bates, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
