Our main purpose in editing this book is to provide the health care practitioner with general clinical practical guidelines regarding the use of pediatric cardiovascular drugs. We also intend to provide an overview of basic pediatric cardiovascular principles. We realize the need for a pocket reference handbook that is tailored to meet the daily challenges of practitioners that care for pediatric cardiac patients. This book is not intended to provide an extensive review of all cardiovascular medications, but hopefully, this reference will compile the necessary information required to assist the practitioner involved in the care of pediatric patients with heart disease in their day-to-day practice. We expect this manual to.
