Chapter 3 - The diagnosis of pediatric heart defects and their surgical treatment


Special Issues in Pediatric Medicine

Pediatrics involves the treatment of children and has long been recognized as a separate medical specialty because of the differences in the medical issues that children and adults face. The care and treatment of children, in fact, can involve medical conditions that simply are not seen in adults. Some conditions are so unique to children that, if treated successfully in childhood, they will never manifest themselves again.
