"Functionally" Single Ventricle: The Most Complex Congenital Heart Defect covers the most recent knowledge, methodologies, and techniques for diagnosing, managing, and treating pediatric patients with the "functionally" single ventricle congenital heart defect. The book covers epidemiology, ethnicity, racial issues, socioeconomic factors, fetal diagnosis, interventions, various treatment options available to pediatric patients, currently obtainable outcomes, and rescue plans after failure of conventional managements. In addition, it offers 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.
