Review :
This book is an entirely new textbook with a modern and carefully constructed format... A major contribution... sets new standards. NEJM, review of previous edition There is something for everyone here... Superb. Circulation, review of previous edition. This book is a pleasure to read. The information is easy to find and beautifully presented with high quality colour illustrations, which aid comprehension. 2001 BMA Medical Book of the Year Award, review of previous edition This is an excellent book for practicing cardiologists, fellows in training, and any clinicians treating patients with a cardiovascular disease. It is thorough, well organized, and well written with superb graphics, encompassing the most important aspects of clinical cardiology. The editors and contributors created this book to aid cardiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac and related diseases. The editors have also designed the book so it can be continuously updated and revised when new studies change the way we practice. It is this structure and organization that is unique to the second edition and justifies the replacement of the first edition. -- Keith G.
