Produktbeschreibung

With just over half a decade passing since the first edition of the Handbook of Pediatric Cardiovascular Drugs was published, it remains the only book of its nature to provide health care practitioners with a tool to safely and consistently prescribe and administer cardiovascular drugs in children with cardiac disease. In this new edition, the editors have updated this important resource in collaboration with highly reputed authors. This pocket reference handbook remains tailored to help cardiovascular practitioners meet the daily challenges of caring for patients, from the newborn to the young adult, with cardiac disease.

In addition to providing an extensive review of all cardiovascular medications, the Handbook of Pediatric Cardiovascular Drugs, 2^nd Edition also discusses the information required to assist caregivers in their daily clinical practice. Physicians, fellows, residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses and other practitioners alike will find this handbook to be an essential resource for drug therapy in complex and high-risk patients with acquired and congenital heart disease.

Rezensionen

Selected as "Highly Commended" in Cardiology at BMA Medical Book Awards for 2015.

"It reviews basic paediatric cardiovascular principles and satisfies the need for a pocket reference handbook tailored to meet the daily challenges of practitioners caring for paediatric cardiac patients. ... this is a unique handbook of paediatric cardiovascular drugs which is very useful to its intended readership. It has certainly filled a gap in the market as there are no other handbook giving such a useful detailed information about each drug in a format useful for clinicians." (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2015)
