This 8th Edition of Moss and Adams’ Heart Disease in Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Including the Fetus and Young Adult, provides updated and useful information from leading experts in pediatric cardiology. Added chapters and a companion web site that includes the full text with bonus question and answer sections make this Moss and Adams’ edition a valuable resource for those who care for infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and fetuses with heart disease.

Features:

• Access to online questions similar to those on the pediatric cardiology board examination to prepare you for certification or recertification
• Leading international experts provide state-of-the-art diagnostic and interventional techniques to keep you abreast of the latest advances in treatment of young patients
• Chapters on quality of life, quality and safety, pharmacology, and research design add to this well-respected text

Review

 “It is an excellent primary pediatric cardiology textbook.”

“The book is particularly useful for pediatric cardiology fellows preparing for their board examination.”

“This comprehensive book is a high quality resource for clinicians charged with caring for young patients with heart disease.”

“I would recommend it to any one specializing in pediatric cardiology, cardiology, academic cardiologists, teaching fellows and cardiothoracic surgeons or anyone with a particular interest in cardiology as it is makes a fascinating informative read. The electrophysiology section would be particularly useful for human physiology undergraduates and postgraduates as electrophysiology concepts are well-explained and the formulae are laid-out and explained. Its strengths are the logical progression from embryology, orientating the reader through anatomy, electrophysiology, testing and diagnosis, pathology and management. Another strength is how comprehensive it is so it has a wide readership. The clear headings make it easy for individuals to identify the relevant parts and the clear references provide an additional exhaustive source of information for the researcher and academic. Few junior trainees will purchase the volumes at this 2013 BMA Medical Book and Patient Information Awards high price but those dedicated to the specialty will be more inclined and wise to make the purchase.” — BMA Medical Book Award reviewer, 2013 BMA Medical Book Awards
