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.
