Infants, children and adolescents with congenital heart disease
(CHD) are a challenge to manage and an ever-increasing number are
reaching adulthood.
CHD is one of the most important topics in cardiology today, yet
this book is the only clinically-orientated monograph devoted
exclusively to ventricular function and blood flow as it relates to
CHD.
Written by a distinguished panel of cardiologists, bioengineers,
physiologists, and clinical investigators, Ventricular Function
and Blood Flow in Congenital Heart Disease is an extensive and
comprehensive presentation of the key aspects of this branch of
CHD.
