About the Book:
Tiny Tots and Tender Hearts explains the basics of heart diseases in children. Although there are chapters devoted to this subject in other books, but the general and individual aspects are not given-in-depth. Besides, there is no source books for paramedicals, parents and relatives of patients to understand such a complicated topic. Awareness helps cope better, and this book answers questions like how congenital heart defects are formed, why they are formed, when to suspect, how doctors confirm, and related issues like psychological aspects, lifestyle after surgery etc. The book is well illustrated with more than 150 colour images and diagrams, and the language has been kept simple with no technical jargon.
The present book is useful for doctors involved in the study of children`s heart disease; final year MBBS, MD pediatrics and MD General Medicine students; nurses, technicians, counselors involved in children`s heart care; and parents and relatives of children suffering from heart diseases
