"This book covers neonatal cardiovascular physiology and hemodynamics as part of the seven-volume Neonatology Questions and Controversies series. The book summarizes current evidence, expert opinions, and emerging technology in the field of neonatal hemodynamics, focusing on commonly encountered conditions, such as patent ductus arteriosus and hypotension. The book has multiple features to enhance the informational content, including bulleted key points at the start of each chapter, frequent use of diagrams, images and tables, and relevant case scenarios. The companion ebook provides an easily navigable and portable option but does not have any additional content compared to the print version. This is the fourth edition, following publication of the previous edition in 2018." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Maradith L Skalak, MD (Tulane University School of Medicine), Doody’s Score: 97 - 5 Stars!
