- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011This is an amazing book. It is the only text I came across that puts all the important information in one place without having to dig around the internet or several textbooks. The book is very well written with a simple question and answer style that also lends itself to reading in small segments as well as concentrated revision.
It comprehensively covers the basic sciences, cardiac investigations, cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac surgical diseases and the post-operative management of these patients. It answers all the questions that are asked in the operating room, on rounds or in an oral examination. Unlike other revision texts, this book has an amazing array of color images, both illustrations and real radiology/cardiology investigations which help to explain the key concepts. Surgical anatomy and technique is clearly demonstrated.
The book also has a fantastic collection of all the seminal publications important for contemporary cardiac practice, especially in the coronary artery disease and heart failure chapters. It also includes all the up-to-date American and European guidelines, including the recently published ESC coronary revascularisation recommendations.
Although this book does require some baseline knowledge, I would highly recommend it for any medical student or trainee/resident on a cardiothoracic/cardiovascular surgery placement and especially for anyone undertaking cardiothoracic/cardiovascular surgery board examinations. It is well worth the money.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2015Excellent review book with great pictures and close to the latest evidence based guidelines.
Hopefully an updated version will be released soon with the latest on precutaneous valves, and sutureless valves.
Overall a quick read and I like the question based format which I find useful for studying

- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013It is a well written and easy to read book for a subject as complex as cardiac surgery. However its only shortcoming is the poor binding. It is hardly four weeks since I bought it but already some pages are becoming loose somewhere in the middle of the book!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014Very quick reference for questions needing quick answer. I'm a visual learner so the images & illustrations come in very handy.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2012A good intro to the basics of cardiac surgery but nothing more. Good sections of echo and cardiac angiography. Some useful information about CBP and myocardial protection. Is really just an intro don't expect more. A little expensive.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2015A must have text for anyone rotating in or planning to become a Cardiac surgeon. Great review. Helps you to think critically and problem based.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2012I recommend this book to everyone that work in a cardiac unit
The drawings are very illustrative.
It is essential.
