Review :
Five star reviews: "This is a very well-written book with plenty of helpful illustrations." Amazon reviewer "As a medical student, I love this series of books! The chapters are concise and mean that you can really focus on the pathology you are interested in. "  Amazon reviewer "This is an excellent starting point for medical students either in their pre-clinical years or those just starting their cardiology placement. There are case scenarios that guide through each pathology and their subsequent management and sections with integrated patient care pathways such as the DVLA etc which really put the medicine into context."
