Description
A team of 250 international experts brings you this thoroughly revised and updated New Edition. Its clinically-oriented coverage integrates basic science, diagnostic investigations, and therapeutic management into a practical, user-friendly reference on all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. A consistent format throughout parallels the clinical decision-making process to make definitive guidance easy to locate and apply. Over 2,360 illustrations, including more than 1,940 full-colour photographs, tables, and diagnostic images make techniques and concepts easy to grasp. Plus, a bound-in CD-ROM features all of the book's illustrations for use in PowerPoint presentations.
This title is also available as an e-dition - the best-selling reference book, packaged with a continually updated website (ISBN 0323029140). Visit www.cardiologytext.com to find out more, and take an online tour.
Features succinct reviews of basic science/pathogenesis, epidemiology and risk factors, specific diagnostic techniques, diseases/arrhythmias and surgical and non-surgical therapies for each major syndrome.
Includes a unique "Special Problems" chapter in each disease section that uses clinical cases to highlight complex issues and offers practical advice on the diagnosis and management of difficult problems.
Presents over 2,360 illustrations (1,940 in full color).
Addresses the hottest topics in the field, including coronary artery bypass grafting, management and treatment of the elderly patient, obesity, the neurologic heart and the athlete's heart.
Includes the latest non-invasive and invasive examinations, and diagnostic imaging techniques.
Discusses the most up-to-date mechanical therapies for treating heart failure.
Features a brand-new chapter on diabetes with the most current information on pathophysiology and therapy.

Reviews / Votes
This book is an entirely new textbook with a modern and carefully constructed format... A major contribution... sets new standards. NEJM, review of previous edition There is something for everyone here... Superb. Circulation, review of previous edition. This book is a pleasure to read. The information is easy to find and beautifully presented with high quality colour illustrations, which aid comprehension. 2001 BMA Medical Book of the Year Award, review of previous edition This is an excellent book for practicing cardiologists, fellows in training, and any clinicians treating patients with a cardiovascular disease. It is thorough, well organized, and well written with superb graphics, encompassing the most important aspects of clinical cardiology. The editors and contributors created this book to aid cardiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac and related diseases. The editors have also designed the book so it can be continuously updated and revised when new studies change the way we practice. It is this structure and organization that is unique to the second edition and justifies the replacement of the first edition. -- Keith G.
