About the Book

There are more than 1.3 million adults living with surgically repaired (or palliated) cardiac defects, not to mention thousands of children. . This book brings to life the many factors and personalities that led to the success of congenital cardiology during the last 70 years. The term “congenital cardiology” refers to the treatment of congenital heart disease in children developed by surgeons and cardiologists and others. It is safe to say that congenital cardiology is one of the major advances in the history of medicine. The final step was achieved by surgery for children born with one ventricle rather than two. The book features the author's extensive review and research, including his original and lively narrative style. It will be a valuable resource for physicians and surgeons that practice pediatric cardiology and pediatric cardiovascular surgery, along with patients and families with these issues.
