text to help you recognize, understand and know how to investigate
and manage many heart-related disorders and conditions. Written by
three practising cardiologists, it leads students through
a clinical approach to managing problems with 26 real-world
cardiovascular cases. There is strong emphasis on high-quality
figures, particularly 12-lead ECGs, as these play such a major role
in the evaluation of the cardiac patient.
Following a question-answer approach throughout the narrative,
with self-assessment MCQs, EMQs and SAQs, Cardiology: Clinical
Cases Uncovered includes sections on cardiac anatomy,
physiology and pathology which provide the essentials required to
understand clinical cardiology, and is ideal for medical students
and junior doctors on the Foundation Programme, specialist nurses
and nurse practitioners, and for those with plans for a career in
cardiology.
