According to Anderson’s Pediatric Cardiology, 5th edition editors, Tretter, et al: “Textbooks continue to serve as essential central repositories of knowledge for postgraduate education in paediatric cardiology, despite the widespread availability of digital learning tools. Recent studies confirm that trainees still value textbooks for their structure, depth, and accessibility, while also requesting improved pedagogy and organization.”

• Offers authoritative, long-term coverage of a broad spectrum of cardiology conditions, including congenital heart disease, adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), acquired heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and rhythm disturbances
• Features a newly streamlined format better incorporating the developmental and anatomical building blocks into clinical diagnosis and management, including diagnostic and management algorithms for quick reference guides. Learning Objectives and Chapter Summary Tables are also included
• Includes exquisite specimen images by Dr. Robert Anderson and Diane Spicer, dissected in easily recognizable analogous imaging planes. These are included in the over 850 anatomic, photographic, imaging, and algorithmic figures, and incorporate new images using virtual dissections of 3D datasets obtained in living patients. These images are complimented by new specimen demonstration videos by Diane Spicer
• Features improved organization and new content for the trainee and practicing provider, including new chapters on Physiology, The Pulmonary Circulation, Genetics, History and Physical Exam (with new high-quality auscultation audio files), Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and Mechanical Ventilation, Basic Principles of Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery, and Development and Anatomy of the Conduction System and Pathways of Abnormal Conduction
• Contains chapters on emerging topics including Three-Dimensional Reconstruction, Advanced Visualization, and Extended Reality, Global Burden of Pediatric Heart Disease and Health Equity, and Quantifying the Fetal Circulation in Congenital Cardiac Disease
• Shares the experience and knowledge of an international team of multidisciplinary experts in congenital and pediatric cardiac care
