Congenital Malformations of the Heart

JAMES GOODFRIEND

Seldom has a monograph or text been so eagerly awaited as Dr. Taussig's summation of her observations of congenital malformations of the heart, and rarely has a book so completely justified the pre-publication interest it evoked as does this. Dr. Taussig's investigations of congenital cardiac anomalies have for some years been directed toward increasing clinical knowledge of these conditions and have been related to Dr. Maude Abbott's classical pathologic studies.

All the clinical types of congenital heart disease are here discussed in detail. The embryologic aberration is pointed out. With the nature of the anatomic deformity established, the inevitable alterations in circulatory dynamics are then considered and the conclusions in each instance are presented in diagrammatic form.
