Pediatric Cardiology

Children with heart disease usually present first to a general paediatrician or physician, often as a murmur, poor feeding, cyanosis or failure to thrive. These references support that first assessment: which findings are innocent, which need urgent transfer, how congenital lesions behave before and after repair, and how to follow the growing number of adults who survived childhood surgery and now attend adult clinics. Aimed at doctors working where paediatric cardiology is a distant referral rather than a phone call. See Pediatric Cardiology for Practitioners and Managing Adult Congenital Heart Disease, with imaging support from Echocardiography.
