Description
Ideal textbook for residents in pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatric and adult cardiology.

Concise, well-organized, and easy-to-understand text can be read cover-to-cover during a pediatric cardiology rotation and focuses sharply on what primary care physicians need to know for initial evaluation and management of patients.

Dr. Driscoll explains the many types of congenital heart defects, focusing on the most frequent cardiac problems in infants, children, and adolescents. Emphasis is on use of new diagnostic tools in conjunction with the physical examination.
  • Single-authored; clear, concise writing style
    • Fills the niche between comprehensive texts and small ""cookbooks""
    • Author breaks down the many types of congenital heart defects and focuses on the most frequent cardiac problems in children
    • Special emphasis on new diagnostic tools that can be used in conjunction with a physical examination
    • Designed to be read cover-to-cover while the student/resident is doing a 1-2 week pediatric cardiology rotation. A complete (but not comprehensive) course in pediatric cardiology for students and residents. This book can be considered an ""entry level"" textbook of pediatric cardiology
    • Content is based on Dr. Driscoll's 30 years' teaching experience at Mayo. He has ""field tested"" many of the chapters with students and residents who rotate through the cardiology clinic: uniformly, they are very pleased with the material.
