Summary

Cardiothoracic Care for Children and Young People is a comprehensive and interprofessional guide aimed at all healthcare professionals working with children and young people with Congenital Heart Disease.Structured around the timeline of the patient's healthcare journey, this book explores the care of the patient from the point of presentation and diagnosis (whether that is antenatally, in the neonatal period or later) until there is a transition in the patient's healthcare journey either onto adult services, or in some cases, end of life. It considers all aspects of care that the child/young person may receive, supported in an evidence based manner, with chapters written by experts from a variety of professional groups involved with this patient group.
