Description
This is a reference work in cardiology for residents and practising physicians. This edition represents a major revision of the text. Special emphasis on the bedside examination of the patient and specific recommendations for managing the patient are amongst the areas covered. The editors of the eighth edition have streamlined the text to minimize duplication of material from one chapter to the next. There are over 25 new chapters and nearly 50 new contributors and 25 new colour illustrations plus a new examination of "Molecular Biology of the Cardiovascular System".
