It thoroughly covers all diagnostic and management aspects of both acquired and congenital heart disease, providing a strong foundation and an actionable approach to care of the pediatric cardiology patient and family. 

Features:

Provides comprehensive coverage of the foundational and practical aspects of care for complex heart problems in children, covering both therapy and surgery from basic information through complex, team-based clinical applications. 

Includes new chapters on cardiomyopathies, structural heart disease, interventional procedures, genetics, electrophysiology, and imaging. 

Discusses the latest information on diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease, including in the fetus and young adult. 

Covers current drugs used in pediatric heart conditions and surgical therapy. 

Shares the knowledge and expertise of editors and authors at Boston Children’s Hospital, one of the world’s largest and most highly rated pediatric cardiology and congenital heart surgery institutions, using a team-based approach.
