Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

The sucessful treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is the culmination of five decades of experience in the treatment of congenital heart disease. This text, the first to devoted solely to the implications and treatment of this single congenital heart malformation, takes a comprehensive look at the medical and surgical therapy for hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Starting from the salient genetics invoved, contributors proceed to cover to the impact of fetal echocardiography, staged palliation, cardiac transplantation, long–term outlooks, and the treatment of advanced disease. Additionally, this essential text explores the difficult topic of HLHS variants, and the perspective of the parent whose child has HLHS.
