Cardiovascular Medicine: Practice and Management (Hardcover)

CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE is a practical and definitive survival guide to cardiovascular medicine for residents and practicing cardiologists. It is the first of its kind to be management-based and gives immediate access to information that can be used directly in patient care. Integrating clinical information with management systems for every setting - including hospital and ambulatory - the book provides a comprehensive approach. Sub-divided into eight major sections, the book provides in-depth discussions of modern health care delivery, through pre-hospital evaluation, the management of both acute cardiovascular events and chronic cardiac disease, and follow-up outpatient care. With a focus on the art of taking care of patients, standard guidelines and practical management algorithms are included throughout the text while key management issues are highlighted in each chapter for easy and rapid reference. Practical, clear and concise, this book has been specifically written and designed to be an every day reference for the busy physician.
