Description
Written and edited by the world’s leading ACHD experts, Diagnosis and Management of Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Fourth Edition, provides up-to-date, must-know information in this increasingly important field. It offers essential guidance on anatomical issues, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management options available to clinicians and allied professionals who work with adults with congenital heart disease. Comprehensive and practical, this outstanding resource is invaluable for all involved with the care challenges and opportunities of the ever-growing number of patients born with CHD, the most common inborn defect worldwide.
Key features
Key features
- Presents each CHD lesion-oriented chapter in a consistently templated format covering incidence, genetics, morphology, presentation, investigations and imaging, and treatment and intervention(s)
- Focuses on clinically practical and actionable content and an all-new, freely accessible section with basic information for ACHD patients and non-ACHD caregivers on individual CHD lesions
- Contains 350 illustrations featuring ECGs, echocardiograms, CTs, MRIs, full-color anatomic drawings, and graphic diagrams
- Discusses key topics such as pregnancy, arrhythmia and heart failure management, psychosocial issues in ACHD, supportive and palliative care for end-stage ACHD, cardiac rehab, liver interactions, ventricular mechanical support, transplantation, and advice regarding patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery
- Provides content specifically for nurses, nurse practitioners, and other allied professionals who, now more than ever, play an important role in the care of the adult with CHD
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
