Description
A sound knowledge of the principles underlying cardiac disease and its management is an essential part of every doctor's training. Now into its third successful edition, "Essentials of Cardiology" presents a concise account of both the theoretical and practical aspects of cardiology. It is written with the medical student and trainee in mind and contains especially clear explanations of the more difficult subjects such as electrophysiology of the heart, arrhythmias and the management of myocardial ischaemia and infraction. The text has been completely revised, and the distinguished author team now includes a paediatric cardiologist in addition to a superb clinical cardiologist and an expert in cardiac electrophysiology.
Reviews / Votes
"...Emphasis has been placed on pathophysiologic mechanisms to enhance the comprehension of the clinical conditions discussed. ...the text was easy to follow and information presented in a logical and ordered format...I am sure it will provide popular with its relation." (International Journal of Cardiology) "Here is a concise account of the current practice of cardiology, reflecting recent technological and clinical changes. ...the chapters on conduction tissue and cardiac arrhythmia were outstanding being particularly clear accounts of sometimes difficult subjects. ...It is suggested that the book would be useful for medical students, nurses and junior doctors. I would add to this, physician trainees and general physicians, especially those who wish to quickly review cardiovascular topics." (The Medical Journal of Australia) "...Dr Timms has managed to present enough information for the student and for doctors studying for the MRCP. ...The layout and the illustrations are excellent, and I enjoyed reading it." (Cardiology Practice) "Aimed at students, nurses and junior doctors, the book is particularly helpful on diagnostic techniques and also provides a useful chapter on surgery which covers the problems of non-cardiac surgery in patients with heart disease."
