Abstract
This is indeed an excellent, concise handbook, presenting in capsule fashion the most important points of pediatric cardiology written by a most competent group of pediatric cardiologists. It is aimed at the general pediatrician and general practitioner. However, it can be most useful to internists and cardiac surgeons. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with general considerations such as anatomy, embryology, genetics, hemodynamics, physical examination, electrocardiography, vectorcardiology, and x-ray films. This part also includes excellent chapters on congestive heart failure, and the selection of patients for catheterization and angiocardiography.
