Description
This is the first volume of a series entitled "Clinical Medicine in the Tropics", published to stress the difference between the practice of medicine in temperate and tropical climates. In this text the difference in prevalence and aetiology is reflected, with the emphasis on the increased morbidity and mortality from such entities as rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy and traditional heart disease, which are rarely seen in developed countries. Designed to complement existing textbooks, the book should prove valuable to students and clinicians alike.
