Heart Failure in the Child and Young Adult: From Bench to Bedside, Second Edition highlights unique aspects of heart failure in the young. This comprehensive resource combines research from multiple contributors with current guidelines to bridge the knowledge gap for the recognition and management of heart failure in children. Coverage begins with the basic science of heart failure and then progresses through diagnosis, management, treatment, and surgery, finally concluding with advanced special topics, including genetics, self-management, and nanomedicine.

This new edition covers advancements in the field, including additional chapters and discussion on biomarkers, neuromuscular disease, quality of life, palliative care, and the impact of COVID-19 in myocarditis and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. It will serve as an indispensable reference to basic science researchers in cardiology, pediatrics, cardiologists, and pediatric cardiologists.
