Clinical Cardiology: Current Practice Guidelines 1ST Edition

Clinical Cardiology: Current Practice Guidelines is an essential tool for the busy clinician, offering succinct yet detailed access to the most recent trial and guideline data supporting practice and patient management in cardiology.

ESC and ACC/AHA guidelines are continually being updated and often overlap in their advice, making it difficult for the cardiologist to obtain a clear picture of the right way to diagnose and treat disease according to the latest evidence base. Written by leading authorities in the field, this book, together with its regularly-updated online version, provides the solution. The authors have scrutinized all available guidelines and research, collating the results into over 600 easily-accessible tables which provide the most recent recommendations by both ACC/AHA and ESC on every clinical issue. These recommendations are considered in the context of the latest research and evidence most relevant to the clinician, offering a detailed insight into how best to proceed with treatment.

Accompanying these are 85 comprehensive chapters on pathophysiology, diagnosis and management. Each chapter offers concise information on definition, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of the disease, reflecting the latest published research, followed by discussion of possible presentations and investigations. The authors have rigorously examined the implications of published guidance, and where appropriate considered new evidence that questions the validity of specific recommendations. This guidance is supported by over 140 full-colour images, which reinforce key points and clarify difficult concepts.

Providing at-a-glance access to the best guidance in cardiology, this book offers a diagnosis and management toolkit which no practising cardiologist can afford to be without. The print edition is complemented by an online version, updated every six months, which allows access to the full content of the textbook. It contains links from the references to primary research journal articles, allows full text searches, and provides access to figures and tables.
