I was reading the ACCSAP8 but decided to give this a try. The third edition is completely outdated but this version is spot on with current guidelines. Maybe there is some information with too much detail, then you just ignore it.
I am happy with the book but wish this came in PDF version. IT IS A PAIN TO CARRY THIS MONSTER AROUND! I am even thinking of ripping the book into 5 different sections because of how uncomfortable it is to read.

The fourth edition of ^IMayo Clinic Cardiology: Concise Textbook continues the tradition of all previous editions: a succinct yet comprehensive teaching and learning textbook rather than an overwhelming reference work. This new edition continues to bridge the gap between currently available texts: more than a bare-bones compilations of lists of facts that do not address the fundamental concepts of the practice of cardiology and not so encyclopedic a tome that it goes into the minute detail of a traditional reference work.
Organized to present a comprehensive overview of the field of cardiology in an accessible, reader-friendly format that can be covered in about 12 months, this new edition contains roughly 50% new material, the cardiac pharmacology section has been completely reworked, cardiovascular trials have been included, and the entire book has been updated to reflect current practice guidelines and recent developments. The book is peppered throughout with numerous tables and clinical pearls that aid the student, as well as the teacher, to remain focused.
Mayo Clinic Cardiology is based on the original syllabus for the Mayo Cardiovascular Review Course, one of the premiere teaching courses in cardiology in the United States. The content evolves entirely from Mayo Clinic physicians and reflects the expert cardiovascular care provided, from common conditions to those that are very rare, even more tertiary referral centers.

I used an older version of this for initial board certification (and liked it) but won't be using it much for recertification. My study method has changed since then - I study at my computer now. Many textbooks are providing online resources - some good, some bad. This one's online interface is not good. By comparison, the ACCSAP allows the user to save and edit a PDF version of the book. This means you can highlight and take notes in the text. With the Mayo book that is impossible, as you are only allowed to download a PDF version of a single chapter.
ACCSAP is more expensive, of course, but for me the ability to use my computer is pretty important, and worth the extra cost in this case.

This book Needless to say, we all know that the Bible should be the Department of Cardiology, the book is very thick, a lot of content, you need a long time to finish. :)

Not very useful reference book. Probably for residents.

This is easy to read - well divided into manageable topics and detailed enough to really help review the subject.

Excellent textbook, if you want to know more about the heart than the general information included in basic echocardiogram textbooks.
