Description
First Prize (Cardiology category), BMA Awards 2005
The latest edition of this popular book has been fully revised and updated to cover
all the latest aspects of clinical cardiology. Compact, but not condensed, Cardiology provides the most essential guide to clinical
cardiology for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
In its original conception, this book was intended as an introductory text
for medical students. It has subsequently achieved a much wider readership, including nurses, residents and general practitioners.
The book has in addition achieved an international audience, reaching countries with differing disease profiles and a range of healthcare
provision. We have endeavored to retain the characteristics necessary to interest the diverse readership. Coverage of the traditional
aspects of cardiology is included, but recent diagnostic and therapeutic developments also have their place.
It has been extended
to include recent technological developments in the fields of angioplasty and electrophysiology. The management of acute myocardial
infarction has been revised and extended to take account of the recent rapid developments in this field.
