From the first edition, leaders in the field of peds cardiology have addressed the particular needs of young patients with either acquired or congenital heart disease. With improved treatment options, the young child with CHD now requires treatment as an adult. This "pediatric" text is required reading for adult cardiologists seeing patients with CHD.
