Fundamentals of Pediatric Cardiology

Buy
Many pediatricians and family practice physicians are intimidated by heart disease in infants, children, and adolescents. This may result from the perception that learning so many types of congenital heart defects and diseases may appear to be an insurmountable task. In addition becoming an expert in auscultation of the heart does require considerable experience, and it is easy to become frustrated when one is unable to make an anatomic diagnosis on the basis of physical examination. This is unfortunate because it is often difficult even for experts and frequently unnecessary to make an anatomical diagnosis on the basis of physical examination alone. Rather, it is important to determine whether the patient (i) does or does not have congenital heart disease, (ii) has cyanotic or acyanotic heart disease, (iii) has heart failure or pulmonary overcirculation (too much pulmonary blood flow), (iv) has reduced cardiac output, or (v) requires urgent detailed evaluation and treatment. I hope this book will facilitate all primary care physicians who care for infants and children to make these distinctions.
 
This book is intended for medical students with an interest in primary care, residents in pediatrics and family medicine, and first-year pediatric and adult cardiology trainees. I have tried to present information in a straightforward and organized manner. Excessive detail, unnecessary for initial evaluation and management of patients, has been avoided. This book was not intended to be encyclopedic. There are several excellent encyclopedic textbooks of pediatric cardiology, and the reader should refer to these textbooks, as well as the recent medical literature, if more detailed information is needed. The book also contains very little drug dosage data. Because there may be regional differences in drug use and dosage and because these may change over time, the reader should refer to current dosage recommendations for this information.
 
I have been fortunate in having had excellent teachers. It is impossible to recognize and thank all of them. However, I have included Drs. J. C. Peterson, William Gallen, Dan McNamara, Charles Mullins, Michael Nihill, Thomas Vargo, Paul Gillette, Howard Gutgesell, Robert Lewis, William Wiedman, Robert Feldt, Denton Cooley, Gordon Danielson, and Francisco Puga. I am grateful to all of them. In addition, I am grateful to Dr. William Edwards for providing the illustrations of pathologic materials, Dr. Patrick O'Leary for the echocardiographic images, and Mr. John Hagen for his excellent medical illustrations.

Relativistic Reality: A Modern View (Knots and Everything, Vol 12)
This book has its origins in my leaving applied physics in 1969 to teach at a small college and ponder the foundations of physics without pressure, even if with limited time caused by a heavy teaching load. Richard Feynman had lectured weekly during the two years I spent at Hughes Labs in Malibu, after graduating from Engineering Physics at...
