Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Apparently Healthy Nigerian Children : Doppler Echocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure

Pulmonary artery pressure is a key parameter in the evaluation of cardiac haemodynamics. Knowledge of its estimation/assessment as well as classification, causes and treatment of pulmonary hypertension is important for both physicians,echocardiographers and cardiac surgeons. There is not much information on this subject from non- caucasian subjects and authors. This book is therefore a useful companion for cardiology professionals in training and in practice.
