Part 2 Prevention: foetal echocardiography; foetal cardiac surgery - the dream and the reality; pharmacology of the primary prevention of coronary heart disease. Part 3 Interventional cardiology: interventional paediatric cardiology; paediatric interventional cardiology - the surgeon's point of view; coronary stenting - early and late results; coronary surgery in the age of invasive cardiology. Part 4 Surgery for arrhythmias: surgical treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in children and young adults; utility of three noninvasive tests to identify high risk patients for cardiac surgery of malignant ventricular arrhythmias; surgical treatment for supraventricular arrhythmias; current strategies in ventricular tachycardia refractory to medical treatment. Part 5 Mitral and aortic valve repair vs. replacement: the evaluation of the paediatric patient with aortic of mitral valve disease, with respect to medical or surgical intervention; mitral and aortic repair versus replacement; biological valves - stented and unstented; mitral valve repair using the pericardium reinforced suture annuloplasty and goretex chordae; quality of life and survival after bioprosthetic valve replacement - a 15-year follow-up; clinical use of new stentless porcine aortic bioprosthesis - a multicentre study; new bioprosthesis - early and mid-term results.
