"Functionally" Single Ventricle: The Most Complex Congenital Heart Defect

Functionally Single Ventricle: The Most Complex Congenital Heart Defect brings together the most recent knowledge, methodologies, and techniques related to diagnosing, managing, and treating pediatric patients with the functionally single ventricle congenital heart defect. It will cover all aspects from epidemiology, ethnicity and racial issues, socio-economic factors, fetal diagnosis and interventions, various treatment options available to pediatric patients, currently obtainable outcomes, as well as rescue plans after failure of conventional managements. Further it will offer 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 ventricleIncludes all age-related aspects, from the fetal diagnosis through adolescent lifeCovers 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 involved in the care of these childrenLays the groundwork for potential future research INDICE: 1.
