Atrial and Ventricular Septal Defects. Molecular Determinants, Impact of Environmental Factors & Non-Surgical Interventions (Cardiology Research &…

Description

In this book, the authors have gathered and present topical research in the study of the molecular determinants, impact of environmental factors and non-surgical interventions relating to atrial and ventricular septal defects. Topics discussed in this compilation include the molecular mechanisms of ventricular septal defects; maternal characteristics and use of drugs and septum heart defects in children; non-surgical closure of atrial septal defects in children; and the etiology and percutaneous closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects.
