This monograph presents a thorough ticatment of the very complex problems 

 connected with normal and abnormal development of the heart and the large 

 blood vessels of the thora.x. A special section is devoted to the phylogenesis 

 of heart development. The different categories of malformations are treated in 

 connection with the developmental periods in which they originate. 



The emphasis throughout is on functional and dynamic aspects. The heart is 

 considered and treated as a unity, especially in the early stages. Extensive 

 theoretical considerations are supplemented by the author's own findings on 

 21 malformed hearts. The book is illustrated with many photographs of 

 abnormal hearts, and a large number of very clear diagrammatic drawings 

 and schemes. There is an extensive bibliography, and author and subject 

 indexes.
