Dr. Kafka’s Corner
50 Quick-Fire Congenital Heart Disease Cases and Answers
By Henryk Kafka, Braeden Hill, and Amer Johri
There are now many more adults with congenital heart disease than ever before, and the adult cardiologist needs to have the skills to deal with these patients, particularly when it comes to imaging. These fifty cases range from simple to complex, from common to rare, and include both native and post-intervention cases; but each provides the reader the opportunity to test and improve adult congenital heart disease imaging skills.
This book is available for download as a PDF-style ebook containing still ultrasound images for each case, or as a video-style ebook containing live ultrasound clips for each case.

Handheld Cardiac Ultrasound: Case Series
The New Cardiac Physical Exam
By Charles Nadeau-Routhier, Atul Jaidka, Matthew Church, and Amer Johri
Handheld cardiac ultrasound is a new way of imaging a patient’s heart at the bedside. This series of interactive cases will demonstrate how this tool can be incorporated into the physical exam and how it can help with earlier diagnosis and management of certain cardiac conditions. Targeted at medical trainees and new doctors, this book is a collaborative project made by members of the Cardiovascular Imaging Network at Queen’s University (CINQ).

Congenital Heart Disease Review
Volume II – Cyanotic Lesions
By Amer Johri, Marbin Cases, Pavel Antiperovitch, and Others
This book is the 2nd volume of the congenital heart disease series. As the 1st volume, this book is intended to provide a simple ‘quick reference’ to a limited number of common, complex cyanotic congenital heart lesions. This is not intended to be a comprehensive reference but a starting point from which learners can begin to understand cardiac anatomy in a portable, viewable format.
Within each chapter are hand-drawn illustrations of selected lesions with corresponding echocardiographic and MRI images demonstrating key imaging planes. Additionally there are example ECGs and audio files of associated murmurs.
