There are no recent books concerning the right heart, the function and characteristics of which are extremely important in congenital heart disease and is assuming increased importance in acquired heart disease. Since congenital malformation of the right heart is the most common congenital heart defect in newborn infants, it is important to have an up-to-date analysis of the key issues in understanding the anatomy and function of the right heart.

Andrew N. Redington is an international expert of the right heart. Robert H. Anderson is world-renowned as a morphologist and pathologist. Glen Van Arsdell is a rising star in surgery for congenital heart disease, particularly those affecting the right heart.
