The book covers epidemiology, ethnicity, racial issues, socioeconomic factors, fetal diagnosis, interventions, various treatment options available to pediatric patients, currently obtainable outcomes, and rescue plans after failure of conventional managements. In addition, it offers the potential for a wide range of future studies. Clinicians and researchers alike will find this title to be an invaluable one-stop resource for improving outcomes of pediatric patients with this complex congenital heart defect.
- Summarizes all information currently available on single ventricle
- Includes all age-related aspects, from the fetal diagnosis through adolescent life
- Covers all factors, including genetics, ethnicity, race, gender, associated cardiac and non-cardiac malformations, diagnostic and interventional procedures, natural history, and outcomes of the available treatments available for all medical professionals caring for these children
- Lays the groundwork for potential future research
Clinicians involved in the care of pediatric patients with this complex congenital heart defect and researchers of complex congenital heart defects, Nurses and technicians involved in the care of pediatric patients with this complex congenital heart defect and other professionals interested in complex congenital heart defects.
