In the atlas on a large number of richly illustrated examples, an echo- and Doppler cardiographic picture of congenital defects and a number of heart diseases is given, as well as the rules for using the ultrasound technique. The publication makes up for the lack of information on the ultrasound diagnosis of many complex congenital heart defects and the ability to assess the condition of patients after surgical correction of the defect. When preparing the atlas, employees of the Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery named after A.N. Bakuleva RAMS (director - academician of RAMS L. A. Bokeria) used the experience of ultrasound examination of patients with defects and heart diseases (more than 60,000 patients), examined at the Center for the period from 1976 to 2003. For specialists in functional and ultrasound diagnostics, cardiologists and pediatricians.
