Description
Dr. Kaiser, author of one of the leading textbooks in the field ("Mastery of Cardiothoracic Surgery") together with his colleague, Dr. Singhal, have written a mini-textbook of essential information for residents and junior attendings. The focus is on practical, 'what you need to know' information; only the most relevant references are included for further reading and, of these, the most pertinent are highlighted for the reader's attention. Written by only two persons, this book has a refreshing single voice throughout that is rare in the literature. The design is highly visual and functional - each chapter begins with a bulleted list of key points of 'learning objectives' for the chapter; crucial facts, mnemonics, are arranged in boxes and 'post-it' notes; illustrations, photographs, and tables abound.
