Reviews for the first edition
This book will appeal to a broad group of professionals and serve as a source of reference for a wide range of problems encountered in clinical cardiology.
Canadian Journal of Cardiology

Every physician and cardiologist should have a copy as a guide to the best treatment options for heart patients. Probably the most important publication in cardiological practice.
Irish Medical Times

Probably the most comprehensive reference book on cardiology ever written.
Trends in Cardiology and Vascular Disease

Every practising cardiologist should have a copy to which he/she can refer frequently.
