5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Review of CHD in Adults, May 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Congenital Heart Disease in Adults, 2e (Hardcover)

Perloff and Child's book Congenital Heart Disease in Adults provides excellent clinical information on the special needs and concerns faced in caring for adults with CHD. I found the section on cyanotic CHD particularly useful and referred my primary care physician to it.
