Description: Brings together clinical consultants of different areas of expertise to address the day-to-day implications of conventional and frontline modalities of treatment for major cardiovascular problems.This book offers a frank and honest review and evaluation of the data from clinical trials and offers a practical way to incorporate this evidence-based information into everyday practice. The task of every health care provider (including the cardiology consultant)in the world is to determine how the expenditure of cardiac care can stay within the budget, as well as how to prevent it from bankrupting the health care system.
