For more than three decades, Park's Pediatric Cardiology for Practitioners has been the go-to book for doctors who see children with heart problems but are not cardiologists themselves. The new Park's Pediatric Cardiology for Practitioners 8th Edition is now in stock at Javed Books, Lahore, with delivery across Pakistan in 1–3 days.
In this post, we explain what makes "Park" so popular, what's new in the 8th edition, and who should have it on their shelf.
Why Is "Park" So Popular?
Written by Myung K. Park and Mehrdad Salamat and published by Elsevier, this book is designed for the generalist, the paediatrician, family physician or trainee who needs to recognise heart disease in a child and decide what to do next. It explains paediatric cardiology in a clear, step-by-step way, from the history and physical examination right through to treatment and follow-up.
Its biggest strength is practical decision-making: it helps you identify the signs and symptoms of possible cardiac disease and know when to refer to a paediatric cardiologist.
