Cardiology: Clinical Cases Uncovered
Book review
by Tim Betts, Jeremy Dwight, Sacha Bull Pub. by Wiley-Blackwell February 2010, 256 pages, 28.80 €
Cardiology: Clinical Cases Uncovered is the ideal integrated text that helps in the recognition, understanding, investigation and management of many heart-related disorders and conditions. Written by three practising cardiologists, it uses a clinical approach to management problems with the help of 26 real-world cardiovascular cases. Th ere is strong emphasis on high-quality fi gures, 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, the book includes sections on cardiac anatomy, physiology and pathology, which provide the essentials required to understand clinical cardiology. Th e book is ideal for medical students and junior doctors on the Foundation Programme, specialist nurses and nurse practitioners, and in general for those with plans for a career in cardiology.
