Abstract

Chapter 13 describes the structured pediatric cardiac examination of a patient before an elective cardiovascular intervention. Systematic and targeted clinical- and apparatus-guided assessment is mandatory to allow a correct and full set of diagnostic procedures. The results should provide the most timely, reliable, and effective possible pharmacological, catheter interventional, or surgical treatment. Analysis by means of a classification of heart defects according to functional viewpoints helps engender a regular, pathophysiologically based, pediatric cardiology mindset and avoid typical pitfalls.
