Congenital Heart Disease - Important Topics

This book is a comprehensive study of congenital heart disease and it elucidates all the important topics related to it. Over the years, understanding regarding the mechanisms of cardiac functioning and anatomy of congenital heart diseases (CHD) has significantly evolved. But it has not yet advanced to a level that CHD can be cured at this time. The early identification of any heart disorder in infants, noninvasive procedures available, advanced and modern infant care equipment and transcatheter procedures are some of the progresses in this field that help in diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disorders. Treatment of cyanotic and acyanotic heart diseases with presently available techniques is safe and efficient. The utilization of staged total cao-pulmonary connection (Fontan) has drastically improved the long-term outlook of children who have one functioning ventricle. This book is a valuable source of information for doctors, practitioners and medical professionals working in this domain of medical science.
