About this book

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome draws together the experiences of the leading experts in the field. Through their work in all aspects of congenital cardiac care, they have become acknowledged as the world leaders in the diagnostic, medical and social needs of children born with hypoplasia of the left heart. More importantly, for the first time the book recognizes the crucial contributions made by the families of these children. Diagnostic possibilities, options for medical and surgical treatment and a history of their evolution are looked into and the book also gives an insight into the longer-term effects that treatment has on the child and its family. As well as including contributions from medical clinicians, nurses, and psychologists, for the first time a forum is provided for the parents, who have complemented the contributions from the medical and nursing experts to provide a holistic view of the lives and experiences of the children born with this condition. No other publication, currently available, offers such a comprehensive overview of the care required by a child with hypoplasia of the left heart. This book provides the ultimate reference for anyone treating children with this heart condition, particularly paediatric cardiac clinical and nursing teams, radiologists and radiographers, obstetric medical and nursing teams, psychologists, pathologists, geneticists and workers in social care.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book … presents a very complete overview of all the different aspects related to the management of hypoplasia of the left heart, emphasizing that the multidisciplinary approach to this disease forms the key to a successful outcome. … The authors of this book have succeeded in providing a very complete, sometimes personal, mostly universal overview of all different aspects of the spectrum of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. They have to be congratulated for offering a fine reference textbook to all health professionals … ." (Dr. Katrien François, Acta Chirurgica Belgica, Vol. 105 (4), 2005)

"Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a challenge … . This book is timely … . The Editors have done an excellent job in assembling a series of experts … . A great strength of the book … it includes the views of families who have had a child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This book will be of value to all those involved in the antenatal and postnatal care … an important addition to the library of any unit undertaking the Norwood procedure." (J.R.L. Hamilton, The Surgeon, Vol. 3 (4), 2005)
