Great for what it is

This book really helped me on the Pediatric Cardiology rotation as a med student. It is very pocketable and covers almost every condition or topic I searched for. The only issue is that the detail/depth is kind of lacking--but that's probably because of the small size. It was good enough to get me started; at home I'd look up more about each topic on the web. I also wish it had more EKG primers and examples since that's something that a student would benefit from.

I finally understand...

A great handbook that makes understanding pediatric cardiology much easier. Has useful diagrams and and very clear and concise descriptions.
