The go-to reference of choice for pediatricians, family practitioners, NPs, and PAs―as well as medical students, residents, and fellows, Park's Pediatric Cardiology for Practitioners provides authoritative, everyday guidance on the diagnosis and management of children with congenital and acquired heart disease. The revised 8th Edition continues the tradition of excellence and remains the essential medical reference book on this subject for generalists. Covering everything from history and physical examination through preventative treatment and the management of special problems, it equips you to confidently assess patients and communicate clearly with families and colleagues.
