A comprehensive and exhaustive reference of fundamental and clinical aspects of heart disease in infancy and childhood. The contributors are well-known experts in the field and the editors are a world class group who have published extensively in the field.

Paediatric Cardiology provides an up to date and authoritative account of paediatric cardiovascular fields covering embryology, morphology, pathophysiology, specific clinical conditions, treatments and the psychosocial aspects of caring for patients with heart disease.

Highly commended at the 2002 Royal Society of Medicine, Medical Book Awards

Commended at the 2002 British Medical Association, Medical Book Awards
"This is a truly splendid work, drawing on the knowledge of a large group of leading experts and pioneers in the field of congenital cardiology, some old and some young. In many of the areas covered it offers a definitive text which sets the standard for all others to follow. The information contained is well presented, well referenced and well indexed. It should be present as a standard reference text in all areas where children with congenital cardiac disease are cared for. It is a must for every budding paediatric cardiologist, and it also contains much information of relevance to those less directly involved in the management of patients with congenital cardiac disease such as neonatologists and intensivists."
