One of the MUST READ books in pediatric cardiology!!!
This book gives a nice historical perspective of each of the common lesions a pediatric cardiologist faces in daily practice. It will take you through the morphology of each lesion, the diagnostic tools used, the available treatment options, the short-term and long-term outcomes, and survival curves.

Upon reading each chapter, you have a comprehensive understanding of why we manage certain diseases the way we do today. I think it's important to know what had been tried previously and what failed so that the field can continue to advance. If you want a book citing multicenter clinical trials and to tell you the advantages of an ACE-I over ARB in heart failure, this is not the book for you. However, if you want a read that will strengthen your true understanding of the cardiac conditions we treat and how we arrived to where we are today, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. ***IF YOU ARE A PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY FELLOW, THIS IS A MUST READ***

Better than I thought at first... but still not good
The information contained in the book is somewhat interesting, and exhaustive in scope. It is best used as a "history book" without clinical applications. This is not how I interpreted the title and was hoping for more information about the natural course of CHD and how our approaches and diagnostic abilities have modified that. That being said, even with the "history book" approach, I think this is still a fair book (at best). There too many things to consider when putting together a book with such lofty goals of the title, and, perhaps it is impossible to actually achieve those goals. This book tries to be so comprehensive that it becomes incomprehensible. It is EXTREMELY confusing in the way it is presented. This detracts significantly from what you can actually get out of the book. Dr. Freedom clearly knows what he is talking about, but he could have found a much better way to convey it.
And last, but not least, with all due respect to Dr. Freedom, the editing in this book is AWFUL!!! Too many mistakes to count in EACH chapter, wrong diagrams/labels. This book would barely be passable if written by an individual who did not speak English as a primary language.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
