Ventricular Function and Blood Flow in Congenital Heart Disease

Infants, children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) are a challenge to manage and an ever-increasing number are reaching adulthood.

CHD is one of the most important topics in cardiology today, yet this book is the only clinically-orientated monograph devoted exclusively to ventricular function and blood flow as it relates to CHD. It is essential that not only pediatricians, pediatric cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and cardiac anesthesiologists familiarize themselves with all the nuances of this branch of pediatrics, but that family practitioners, internists, adult cardiologists and intensivists do so as well.

Written by a distinguished panel of cardiologists, bioengineers, physiologists, and clinical investigators, Ventricular Function and Blood Flow in Congenital Heart Disease is an extensive and comprehensive presentation of the key aspects of this branch of CHD.

This textbook can be used as both a learning tool and reference, or as a springboard to further study in the field.
