Description: "This resource, written as a collaborative effort by residents, fellows, and attending physicians, provides a truly comprehensive handbook for fast access to cardiology information. This user-friendly title covers topics from acute coronary syndromes to atrial fibrillation to valvular heart disease. Each chapter begins with a robust dissection of the clinical problem - starting with relevant historical and physical exam findings to assist readers during the diagnostic process. Therapies, conveniently organized in chart format where appropriate, present indications, patient selection, and side effects. Treatment choices are then provided, all of which are rooted in both a strong base of recommendations from the ACC/AHA, as well as a review of "landmark evidence" - from the historical trials to the latest therapies."--BOOK JACKET.
