Reviews / Votes
"This is a very good source of general information about current cardiovascular practice on a basic level. It is easy to read and follow with a special focus on contemporary guidelines and practices. What makes this book attractive is that it is easy to read." (Doody's, 27 January 2012) "An accurately titled short reference work, this book is leading out in seven sections of 29 chapters dealing with prevention, clinical aspects of a heart attack, heart failure, valvular disease and vascular disease, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, cardiovascular disease in special population and specialised testing and therapeutics."
