Based on Dr. Driscoll's thirty years of successful bedside teaching at the Mayo Clinic, Fundamentals of Pediatric Cardiology is the ideal textbook for residents in pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatric and adult cardiology. This concise, well-organized, and easy-to-understand text can be read cover-to-cover during a pediatric cardiology rotation and focuses sharply on what primary care physicians need to know for initial evaluation and management of patients.

Dr. Driscoll explains the many types of congenital heart defects, focusing on the most frequent cardiac problems in infants, children, and adolescents. Emphasis is on use of new diagnostic tools in conjunction with the physical examination.
