Winner of a HIGHLY COMMENDED AWARD in the Surgical specialties category of the 2011 BMA Medical Book Competition. Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery will systematically cover all the main topics involved in the current practice of a cardiac surgeon. It will incorporate current guidelines for practice (such as from the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology) and up-to-date information based on current literature. The data and body of knowledge presented in this book are strictly evidence-based which makes it ideal as a revision aid for residents/registrars undertaking their Cardiothoracic Surgery Board examinations around the world. Although these examinations vary in format in different countries, this book is applicable to all cardiothoracic surgical trainees. Its concise, yet complete coverage of the important topics, make it the ideal guide to answer the key questions in cardiac surgery that are asked within the confines of an examination. Cardiologists, cardiothoracic intensive care unit specialists, nursing staff, physiotherapists and other professions allied to medicine, both surgical and cardiological, will also find the book useful in terms of the indications and surgical management of these patients, as they are integral to the cardiac surgical process.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic new book - a must for all cardiothoracic/cardiovascular residents/trainees
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This 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.

    It 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!

    A 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.
