"This is a truly splendid work, drawing on the knowledge of a large group of leading experts and pioneers in the field of congenital cardiology, some old and some young. In many of the areas covered it offers a definitive text which sets the standard for all others to follow. The information contained is well presented, well referenced and well indexed. It should be present as a standard reference text in all areas where children with congenital cardiac disease are cared for. It is a must for every budding paediatric cardiologist, and it also contains much information of relevance to those less directly involved in the management of patients with congenital cardiac disease such as neonatologists and intensivists."Authorship international in scopeComprehensive volumeAuthoritative: edited and written by well-known expertsCoverage of specific topics such as diagnostic catherterization, interventional catherterization, angiography, and transplantationColour SectionTwo new editors: EJ Baker and M J RigbyTwenty five new contributionsNew sections on fetal cardiologyNew chapter on Transplantation
