The rapid pace of progress in medicine is a motivation to update knowledge, gather new information and continue the process of learning. The purpose of this new second edition is to incorporate the latest scientific advances. More than 90% of physicians taking care of children with cardiac disorders are not cardiologists and hence must have the knowhow of interpreting and arriving at a clinical diagnosis and a fair knowledge of pharmacologic, interventional and surgical therapy. They obviously do not require much information on invasive and noninvasive cardiac testing, neither of which they are called on to perform. This makes the task of extracting essential and vital information from available large volume textbooks difficult and also impractical for the busy clinician. This book is aimed to cover important aspects of clinical pediatric cardiology as seen in office practice and sufficient enough to equip the primary care physicians and postgraduates to approach various cardiac disorders systematically.
