Handbook of Pediatric Cardiology

Delving into the unique physiology of growing hearts, this handbook outlines how congenital and acquired cardiac conditions in children are recognized and managed. It emphasizes diagnostic cues, imaging, catheterization, medication strategies, and bedside tips to aid multidisciplinary clinical care. Pediatric cardiology explores congenital and acquired heart conditions in children, where anatomy, growth, and physiology interact uniquely. This handbook summarizes the recognition, investigation, and management of common pediatric cardiac disorders in concise, accessible entries. Chapters cover examination cues, diagnostic imaging (including echo principles), catheterization basics, and perioperative care for congenital lesions. Practical guidance on pharmacologic management, long-term follow-up, and family counselling supports multidisciplinary care. Algorithms and bedside tips help clinicians triage and stabilize infants and children with cardiac symptoms. Aimed at pediatricians, trainees, and allied health professionals, it's a quick, reliable clinical reference.
