This book describes the cardiac development and anatomy of the heart, which is richly illustrated by full color images and examples obtained through the dissection and photography of over 200 hearts. Each embryonic, fetal and adult heart image is supplemented by concise explanations of the key concepts involved.
The Atlas of Heart Anatomy and Development presents clearly the stages of the embryonic heart, thus providing a key reference for specialists in fetal medicine. The anatomy section presents each cardiac structure with an emphasis on each individual variability possible. Therefore this will be an important resource for trainees and practicing medical professionals in the discipline, including medical students, residents and specialists in cardiology and cardiac surgery.
This heart anatomy book describes the cardiac development and cardiac anatomy in the development of the adult heart, and is illustrated by numerous images and examples.

This is an atlas of cardiac development and anatomy of the human heart which distinguishes itself with the use of 550 images of embryonic, fetal and adult hearts and using text that is logical and concise. All the mentioned anatomical structures are shown with the use of suggestive dissection images to emphasize the details and the overall location. All the images have detailed comments, while clinical implications are suggested. The dissections of different hearts exemplify the variability of the cardiac structures. The electron and optical microscopy images are sharp and provide great fidelity. The arterial molds obtained using methyl methacrylate are illustrative and the pictures use suggestive angles. The dissections were made on human normal and pathological hearts of different ages, increasing the clinical utility of the material contained within. Contains a large number of original pictures of great quality covering the entire cardiac anatomy Reviews a wide variety of adult and embryo hearts Presents information in an accessible and concise format?
