“The book is intended as an introduction to echocardiography and its strongest attribute is its relatively straightforward description of cardiac anatomy and the best ways to view this anatomy by ultrasound. … The intended audience is trainees in pediatric cardiology and neonatology. … The authors have crafted a concise, readable, and well-illustrated overview of echocardiography in childhood.” (Abraham Groner, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
