Atlas of Heart Anatomy and Development

Atlas of Heart Anatomy and Development by Florin Mihail Filipoiu.

This book describes the cardiac development and anatomy of the heart, which is richly illustrated by full color images and examples obtained through the dissection and photography of over 200 hearts. Each embryonic, fetal and adult heart image is supplemented by concise explanations of the key conce...
