This text contains several excellent basic chapters covering embryology, anatomy, physiology, physical examination, radiography, electrocardiography, echocardiography, and cardiac basic chapters are various general chapters discussing a range of topics including arrhythmias, antiarrhythmic agents, pathophysiology and management of congestive heart failure, syncope, and thromboembolic complications. Included also is a useful and unique chapter focusing on classification of heart disease according to functional mechanism. There are additional chapters presenting major congenital and acquiredEach of these chapters includes discussion of prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical features, management, and prognosis. High quality photographs, primarily echocardiographic and radiographic, are included to illustrate and reinforce textual information. book contains 120 color photos, many of which are post-mortem specimens and somewhat unfortunate that these color images are grouped collectively into
three distinct sections of the book rather than being included with theHowever, this is a minor criticism considering the overall quality of the text and its illustrations. pointed out by the authors in their preface, much of the practice of veterinary cardiology is based on anecdotal evidence and extrapolation from human cardiology rather than on data from controlled clinical studies. Consequently, there are many controversial aspects of diagnosis and management in this specialty. general, the authors have succeeded in identifying these controversies and presenting both sides of an issue. authors have actually done an admirable job of considering varying views and approaches and, ultimately, presenting recommendations based upon their interpretation of available data as well as upon their personal clinical the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.� (Old Scottish Proverb) M.

This book presents and describes a series of informative clinical cases with the aim of providing the reader with a clear understanding of the most frequent and challenging scenarios that a cardiologist may face during daily clinical practice. All major topics in modern clinical cardiology are addressed, including acute ischemic heart disease, conditions that mimic ischemic heart disease, heart failure and resynchronization therapy, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias and channelopathies.
Guidance is provided on imaging techniques and their interpretation, patient management taking into account potential comorbidities and follow-up appropriate to the clinical circumstances. The paradigmatic clinical cases in this book will serve as a sound basis for learning for medical students, residents and others wishing to meet successfully the challenges posed by cardiac disease. In addition, the book will be a very useful reference for the more experienced cardiologist. “This is a collection of clinical cases covering a broad range of topics in cardiology, including ischemic heart disease, heartIt is aimed especially at early career cardiologists, cardiology fellows in training, and general practitioners. This will be an excellent reference for clinicians in training across a range of fields including both cardiology and general practice. case-based format will be particularly helpful to those in training.” A.

Systematically divided into six parts, this book presents a lucid and comprehensive exposition of Clinical Cardiology. The basic concepts and procedures have been explained in a simple and logical manner and a large number of illustrations and tables have been included throughout the text to facilitate understanding of the subject. In total, there are 749 figures, 245 tables, and 675 references. The book will serve as an ideal text for postgraduate students of General Medicine, Cardiology and Pediatrics.
Also, it will be an extremely useful and reliable reference source for the practising physicians. Beginning with a clear description of basic anatomy and physiology relating to cardiovascular medicine, the book explains cardiac history taking and symptomatology. It then describes general physical examination along with arterial pulse and blood pressure. This is followed by a detailed discussion of cardiovascular examination including inspection, palpation, percussion, precordium in common heart diseases and auscultation. Thereafter, basic investigations necessary for diagnosis and management are described. These feature clinical electrocardiography which includes normal ECG, common disease conditions, drug effects, arrhythmias and prediction of coronary artery occlusion. This section also discusses radiology of the heart describing introduction, technical facts, routine reporting of x-ray chest, calcifications and other views.
