“Overall, the book is comprehensive yet succinct. The authors should be applauded for assembling a resource that will be regularly referenced by cardiac practitioners. It fills a niche between a too exhaustive and a too basic resource for those already in the field of cardiology. This book is recommended reading for all those taking care of the breadth of cardiac disease regularly” Nichole M. Polin, MD, FACC, Ochsner Clinic Foundation on behalf of Doody’s
Providing a complete but succinct overview of the information cardiologists and cardiology trainees need to have at their fingertips, this new title is an everyday primary guide to the speciality.
- Ably synthesizes pathophysiology fundamentals, clinical knowledge, and evidence-based approaches to prepare a physician for a subspecialty career in cardiology
- Divides chapters into two types: clinical and practical
- Clinical chapters cover coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular disorders, pericardial disorders, and peripheral arterial disease
- Practical chapters address ECG, coronary angiography, catheterization techniques, ecnocardiography, hemodynamics, and electrophysiological testing
- Includes over 650 figures, key notes boxes, references for further study, and coverage of clinical trials
- Review questions at the end of each chapter help clarify topics and can be used for Board preparation - over 375 questions in all!
Practical Cardiovascular Medicine is an ideal reference for the resident, fellow, and practicing cardiologist treating patients with cardiovascular disease.
