Cardiac failure in infancy and childhood. 1977

R E Hawker

Cardiac failure in infants and children frequently results from pathophysiological mechanisms different from those of cardiac failure in adults. An age-based approach to aetiology is presented and attention drawn to details of management which should allow a high rate of salvage of patients who have reversible or correctable underlying conditions.
