Here it is. Conceived and written by cardiology fellows at Stanford University, a well-respected center for cardiac care and cardiovascular research and education, A Practical Approach to Cardiovascular Medicine reflects a keen understanding of how hectic a cardiology service can be and precisely what information clinicians need in order to effectively manage both commonly encountered situations as well as more complex clinical syndromes. In short, it is the ideal companion for any clinician who must have the latest and most-trusted recommendations close at hand. Key features: ¿ Practical ¿ Evidence based ¿ Written by fellows at one of the busiest cardiac care centers in the US who understand the information that is essential in the clinical setting ¿ Boxes and flowcharts allow users to quickly access diagnosis and treatment information ¿ Clinical pearls offer succinct and practical advice Its evidence based approach and wealth of clinically-relevant features make this book an ideal guide not only for cardiology fellows, but also for trainees in internal medicine, surgery, and anesthesiology, as well as for practicing internists and cardiologists.
