Additional text

“Not every clinician, including nurse practitioners (NPs), practices in a site with immediate access to a cardiologist. A new book recently released should help mitigate that problem by providing the latest information in CV diagnosis and treatment in an easily accessible format. … This book represents easy access to high quality current information. … Students and faculty are especially going to find this book a treasure trove of reliable information.” (Marilyn Edmunds, The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, Vol. 13 (3), March, 2017)
