Paediatric Cardiology An Introduction

This book provides relevant and practical information for paediatricians, intensivists, fetal medicine specialists, paediatric and intensive care nurses and cardiac technicians, enabling them to play an appropriate role in the recognition, investigation, early management and continued follow-up of young patients with cardiac disease. 'Paediatric Cardiology' provides non-specialists with a basis for dealing with the diagnosis and management of heart disease in the fetus, infant, child and young adult. The information is presented in an accessible, practical and understandable way and should equip the reader with enough specialist knowledge to deal with many aspects of cardiac care in the general hospital setting and to communicate well with the families of children with a cardiac diagnosis.
