The first book of its kind, Pediatric Heart Failure describes
current diagnostic and treatment strategies for acute and chronic
heart failure in the fetus, neonate, child, and young adult. It
encompasses every aspect of pediatric heart failure, including
historical perspectives, the latest technologies in mechanical
circulatory support, and the psychosocial aspects of heart failure
in children. Coverage includes the causes and treatment of heart
failure in the fetus, the developmental, cellular, neurohormonal,
and immunologic mechanisms of pediatric heart failure, the genetic
aspects of heart failure, and the alterations in cardiac function
that occur after heart transplantation in children.

Despite approximately 50 years of progress in the management of com
plex congenital heart disease, hypoplastic left heart syndrome
(HLHS) has been one of the last cardiac malformations to yield to
effective surgical treat ment. The surgical therapies for
hypoplastic left heart syndrome have evolved by two quite disparate
routes. One approach has been the staged reconstruc tion operations
utilizing an initial operation pioneered by many but developed by
Dr. William Norwood and subsequently modified by many other
investigators. The first stage reconstruction operation has been
refined and standardized such that the majority of infants now
proceed to second and third stage reconstruc tive operations
culminating in a Pontan Kreutzer single ventricle physiology. An
alternative surgical approach has been the development of neonatal
and infant heart transplantation for HLHS. This approach also has
had a signifi cant impact on the treatment of HLHS and other
cardiac malformations and has been associated with good
intermediate term results. Both of the thera peutic approaches
devised for treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome have been
effective and the outcomes are continuing to improve with each."

As a leading reference on pediatric cardiology and congenital heart
disease, Anderson's Pediatric Cardiology provides exhaustive
coverage of potential pediatric cardiovascular anomalies, potential
sequelae related to these anomalies, comorbidities and
neurodevelopmental problems, and current methods for management and
treatment. The fully revised 4th Edition addresses significant and
ongoing changes in practice, including recent developments in
fetal, neonatal, and adult congenital heart conditions as well as
expanded content on intensive care, nursing issues, and societal
implications. The outstanding illustration program provides superb
visual guidance, and is now supplemented with a remarkable
collection of more than 200 professionally curated, author-narrated
videos. Offers authoritative, long-term coverage of a broad
spectrum of cardiology conditions, including congenital heart
disease, adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), acquired heart
disease, cardiomyopathies, and rhythm disturbances. Features
exquisite specimen images by Dr. Robert Anderson and Diane Spicer
dissected in easily recognizable analogous imaging planes. These
are included in the over 850 anatomic, photographic, imaging, and
algorithmic figures, and incorporate new images using virtual
dissections of 3D datasets obtained in living patients. An
extensive new section describing the non-cardiac consequences of
congenital cardiac disease and other related issues Outside the
Heart, including new chapters on quality improvement in congenital
cardiac disease, models of care delivery, neurocognitive assessment
and outcomes, psychosocial issues for patients and families,
ethics, nursing implications, acute and chronic renal
complications, and telemedicine. Three entirely new, expanded
sections on the Functionally Univentricular Heart, Fetal Congenital
Cardiac Disease, and Heart Failure and Transplantation. Provides a
new focus on patient and family-centered care with expert advice on
how to communicate difficult diagnoses to patients and families.
Features new integration of nursing content into all
disease-specific chapters, as well as updated content on genetics,
congenital heart disease and follow-up, and new imaging modalities.
Contains chapters on new and emerging topics such as MRI and
Quantifying the Fetal Circulation in Congenital Cardiac Disease;
Congenital Anomalies of the Coronary Arteries; and The Global
Burden of Pediatric Heart Disease and Pediatric Cardiac Care in
Low- and Middle-Income Countries Shares the experience and
knowledge of an international team of multidisciplinary experts in
medicine and advanced practice nursing. Expert ConsultT eBook
version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience
allows you to search all of the text, tables and figures from the
