Lecture Notes on Cardiology

by JohnMorgan (Author), HuonGray (Author), KeithDawkins (Author), IainA.Simpson (Author)

Synopsis

"Lecture Notes on Cardiology, fourth edition", is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most rapidly changing specialties in clinical medicine. The completely new author team has produced an informative and highly accessible book, presenting clinical cardiology in a way that relates disease to underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and linking this directly to the patient, their disease and its management. This new edition has been produced in response to the exciting new developments in all areas of cardiology. It has been completely revised and rewritten, with an emphasis on recent major clinical trials relating to cardiology and the huge advances made in cardiac imaging techniques. These concepts are fully illustrated and a colour plate section has been added to show emergent techniques, including Doppler imaging and MRI. The succinct and topical content of this book means that it will not only appeal to medical students, but also to junior doctors on foundation programmes and studying for higher examinations.

Media Reviews
In addition to the excellent summaries we have come to expect from Lecture Notes, there is an emphasis on recent major clinical trials and modern imaging techniques. Along with the ECGs and illustrations, this is a worthy buy. Black Bag, Medical Student's Gazette As with the rest of the Lecture Notes series, this book lightly guides you through the basics of the subject, at a suitable level for undergraduate medicine. It is lavishly illustrated and covers pretty much all you need to know, even for an in-depth SSM in the subject. Surgo - Glasgow University Medical School Gazette Published Reviews of the 4th Edition The book certainly contains enough to get you through the Chest rotation in year 3, and Ithink that the chapter on examination of the cardiovascular system is excellent for those preparing for OSCEs. ..if you find that the cardiology chapter in your standard medical textbook isn't enough, this book will fill in the gaps nicely. ..if you are lucky enugh to start revising early then a couple of weeks reading this book will be time well spent. 5th Medical Student GKT Gazette, Medical & Dental Schools, January 2003 The text in this book is very comprehensive from a medical curriculum's viewpoint. ..I don't imagine you would be asked anything beyond the scope of this book.
