Pediatricians are on the front lines of detecting early signs of heart disease in children. The presentation of pediatric heart disease, especially in newborns, can be subtle, and delayed diagnosis can have severe consequences. This book serves as a practical guide to help practitioners gain the confidence and proficiency needed to identify a wide range of disease presentations. Case studies, key images, and illustrations enhance understanding of important concepts. Special attention is given to interpreting chest radiographs and the roles of echocardiography and catheterization.
