DECLARATIONS
Acknowledgments
A large number of echocardiographic pictures were used as figures in this paper; a significant portion of
these echoes were obtained at the Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, Houston, Texas. I take this
opportunity to thank the sonographers for their diligence in securing high-quality echocardiograms.
