  • New What's the Evidence? boxes describe the key trials influencing practice

Very Good
'Scion publishing has already satisfied me a lot with their Medical Rheumatology book. Due to the positive experience I decided to give their Cardiology book a try. As a matter of fact I did not get disappointed! Very good introduction to all interesting topics in cardiology including their treatment and clinical approach. A book full of useful mnemonics and clear definitions of specific cardiologic terminology...' Amazon reviewer


Excellent Cardiology Guide
'A fantastic and up to date cardiology guide for undergraduate medical students and foundation doctors. Explains everything in simple ways but also provides detailed information using guidelines etc. Particularly useful for Scotland or students studying at Edinburgh Medical School.' Amazon reviewer


Easy to understand and informative
'I bought this book as my mum had a heart attack and I wanted to understand how the heart worked, what was going on and what could be done. It was really informative and I found it easy to understand, it was perhaps an unusual book to be sat reading on a cardiac ward but it helped me understand what was going on. I would thoroughly recommend this for anyone wanting to learn more about the heart and cardiology.' Amazon reviewer
