The third edition of this well-known text is inspired by the popularity of the previous editions among both students and practitioners. This book provides simple, lucid, and comprehensive description of basic anatomy and physiology of cardiovascular system, clinical cardiology, and basic bedside investigations in a single book.
New to this Edition
• Recent advances in cardiology have been included which will greatly help in bedside clinical decision making.
• Chapters on cardiovascular evaluation and principles of management of common heart diseases have been elaborated to include acute coronary syndromes which may serve as a ready reckoner and guide the residents and practitioners in their day-to-day management of cardiovascular diseases.
• Clinical presentation of bradyarrhythmias has been included in chapter of heart blocks along with diagnostic criteria, aetiology, and investigations, essential for diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
• Addition of evaluation and principles of management of hypertension provides current view of relevant clinical diagnosis and management.
• Addition of finest quality 50 new figures and graphs especially the ECGs and echocardiograms along with CCTs and CMRI scans to the already highly illustrated book.
• Synopsis of important conditions and syndromes have been provided as appendices in general physical examination chapter.
Salient Features
• Text is amply illustrated by relevant patients’ photographs, flowcharts, and tables which will be an asset to clinical decision making.
• Provides up-to-date reviews of relevant clinical and cardiological evaluation, examination, and assessment.
• Portraits of the stalwarts enabled to understand evidenced-based clinical cardiology comprehensively and scientifically.
Online Features
• Complimentary access to full e-book.
• 9 videos for better understanding and comprehension of clinical cardiology.
• 11 audios of cardiovascular auscultation to characterize heart sounds and murmurs.
