Description
This is the 2nd edition of Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery, which has become the must-read book for all cardiac surgical practitioners and is part of the revolutionary 'Key Questions' series of cardiothoracic surgical textbooks, including Key Questions in Thoracic Surgery and Key Questions in Congenital Cardiac Surgery. The 1st edition was an international bestselling cardiac surgical textbook, for many years being the most popular cardiac surgical book on amazon, with amazing feedback and reviews. It also received a Highly Commended Award at the British Medical Association (BMA) Medical Book Awards and has been placed on the US Thoracic Surgery Directors Association (TSDA) recommended reading list for American cardiothoracic surgery residents and fellows. Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery provides a systematic overview of the important topics in contemporary adult cardiac surgical practice. The text is evidence-based, incorporating current literature and has been updated from the 1st edition with the most recent American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology guidelines. This illustrated concise text is a practical and clinically focused book that covers all the key questions in cardiac surgery. Additional chapters on statistics and pulmonary embolism have been included, with the main chapters having been updated describing contemporary surgical techniques and management philosophies. Whilst being an ideal reference for cardiac surgical trainees and residents, especially when undertaking their cardiothoracic surgery board examinations, this book is also of great value to other specialties involved in the care of cardiac surgical patients, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic intensivists, nurses and physiotherapists.
Reviews / Votes
"The title of this book Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery is appropriate since it covers systematically all questions asked in examinations or during the ward round. It is written in a question-answer format which makes it interesting to read. The illustrations are very good. The diagrams have been made in such a way that they provide a surgeons view. This book is based on the guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, and incorporates facts based on current scientific literature. Each chapter has a list of key scientific references for further reading. We would recommend this book as a companion for all cardiac surgery and cardiology trainees, perfusionists and cardiac anaesthesiologists. Overall, this book provides a practical and new approach to understand adult cardiac surgery." -- Professor of Cardiac Surgery & Editor-in-Chief on behalf of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery "A wonderful book. I have been looking for such a book for a very long time. It gives a global view on all aspects of adult cardiac surgery with emphasis on the important points. It is written in a very smooth and easy way. Its size is perfect so it can be carried everywhere. In my opinion, it is a must-have book if one is preparing for the speciality exam. Junior and senior trainees will also find it helpful during their career." -- Waterstones review I recommend this book for cardiac surgery trainees, fullfledged surgeons, and also for other medical practitioners wanting a brief and precise overview into our speciality, without having to pick up heavy textbooks and spend precious time searching for information. -- Professor of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland on behalf of the European Society of CardiologyMore details
