Abstract This reference work aims to be the primary resource in the field of heart disease in children and adult congenital heart disease. It contains nearly 100 chapters covering all aspects of heart disease in three populations: fetus with acquired and congenital heart diseases, children with acquired and congenital heart diseases, and adults with congenital heart diseases. Divided into five main sections, the book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and continuously revised overview of what is known in the field as well as resources for practical use such as normal values, medication information, and review of published guidelines. The first section of the book includes historical background on congenital heart disease and the evolution of medical, surgical, and catheter therapeutics. The fetal heart disease section comes next and covers cardiovascular embryogenesis, etiological mechanisms, diagnostic tools, presentation and management, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, perinatal management, and emergencies. The bulk of the book lies in the third section on pediatric cardiology, which examines not only basic science, assessment, and therapies but also a wide variety of specific acquired and congenital diseases such as valvular lesions, arterial diseases, cyanotic heart diseases, cardiomyopathies, cardiac tumors, and pulmonary hypertension. This is followed by the section on adult congenital heart diseases, discussing echocardiography, electrophysiology, neurodevelopment, and a variety of unique aspects of congenital heart disease in the adult years. The final section of the book focuses on pharmacology with chapters on inotropes, vasopressors, diuretics, and more. Pediatric Cardiology: Fetal and Pediatric Heart Diseases & Adult Congenital Heart Diseases is an essential reference for physicians, residents, fellows, medical students, nurse-practitioners, and allied health professionals in cardiology, pediatrics, cardiac surgery, and imaging/radiology.
