The Pediatrician and Congenital Heart Disease—1979

Thomas W. Rowland MD1

1 Department of Pediatrics, Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Massachusetts

Early identification of infants with serious lesions continues to be vital, and support of children and their families following surgery is central to the solution of emotional, employment, and childbearing problems these patients may eventually face.
