  Patients with heart disease comprise between 15% and 20% of all cases seen in acute medicine. In each case the doctor must decide whether to obtain a specialist opinion and what to do for the patient directly. This book offers practical guidelines for the management of the main cardiological problems that are likely to arise in the daily work of the non-specialist doctor. It covers major drugs, valve disease, post-infarction management, the cardiomyopathies and some of the more frequently encountered conditions. Each chapter concludes with a number of key references.
