Product Description

"The Pocketbook of Cardiology" is designed to provide the practical information required for managing cardiology in-patients and out-patients. This includes sections on dealing with common out-patient consultations, common interspecialty referrals, cardiological problems on the cardiac surgery unit, acute cardiological emergencies, and terminal care in cardiology. Also, as cardiology is a specialty with a high technical content, sections will be included that provide the core information relating to the common technical subspecialties - echocardiography, cardiac catheterisation and catheter intervention, pacing and electrophysiology. Finally, a technical data section will be included which details normal values for cardiac catheterisation, echocardiography and electrocardiography. "The Pocketbook" is not meant to be a comprehensive reference source - there are numerous textbooks of cardiology and the subspecialties. It will be approximately 560 pages, comprehensively illustrated, with line drawings to illustrate the practical procedures and colour and black and white photographic images for the cardiac catheterisation, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology sections.

A cracking compendium of core cardiology!!
Easy to read and understand, but I would say that, having both of the authors as tutors at my University. In the true style of their lecturing, anything you need to know and understand about Cardiology is in here and is readily accessible. A must have for medical students!!!
