Summary: Aged, but not outdated
Comment: Although it doesn't contain the latest developments in the field of pediatric cardiology, it isn't outdated. It doesn't try to propose the definitive treatment modality to the various heart abnormalities encountered in children, but explicitly explains various aspects of the disorder.

Dr. Rudolph begins by explaining the physiology of the fetus, the neonate and the child, to help the reader understand the importance of changes produced by cardiac anomalies. It then explains cardiac catheterization as a diagnostic tool. Once the basics are established, he explains various anomalies from an anatomic standpoint, a hemodynamic standpoint, clinical features, indications for catheterization, the differential diagnosis, and principles of management. While the management issues have changed dramatically since its publication, this is only a small portion of a book that provides a solid foundation to understanding the pediatric heart.

As one of the "fathers" of pediatric cardiology, Dr. Rudolph has given us an invaluable tool to understanding the fundamentals of pediatric cardiology.
