This concise, highly readable compendium grew out of an optimistic attempt by the authors, some years ago, to cover the field of pediatric cardiology in a 2-day lecture seminar! The general aim is to offer a brief basic introduction to pediatric cardiology, with emphasis on fundamental general considerations as well as the more common disease entities. The first 11 chapters deal with the basic tools of pediatric cardiology such as anatomy and embryology, experimental production and genetics of cardiac anomalies, abnormal hemodynamics, the physical examination, and the various modalities of laboratory examination.

Pity the busy practicing obstetrician who tries to keep up with the latest on the management of the "Rh problem" in his practice. Whereas once, there were only two Rh types, Rh positive and Rh negative, now there are more than two dozen, of which at least six can cause problems, though most rather rarely. And, there is a 20% danger of fetal death which may now be foretold by pigment changes in the amniotic fluid. So amniocentesis is an important prognostic measure.

This short (179 pages), well-composed text includes a presentation of the anatomy, hemodynamic characteristics, and surgical management of five congenital cardiovascular abnormalities. Although not much in the way of new information is offered, the material is easy to read and is followed by an excellent bibliography. Chapters dealing with patent ductus arteriosus, coarctation, atrial and ventricular septal defects, and tetralogy of Fallot comprise the materials covered by the text. With certain exceptions, for instance, the routine use of chloramphenicol as a postoperative antibiotic, the discussion of the surgical treatment and postoperative management of these anomalies is very well done.
