"This is a collection of clinical cases covering a broad range of topics in cardiology, including ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and electrophysiology. ... It 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. The clinical, case-based format will be particularly helpful to those in training." (Jennifer A. Davis, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2016)
