Essential Cardiology by A. Nathan (University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada)
A sound knowledge of the principles underlying cardiac disease and its management is an essential part of every doctor's training. Now into its third successful edition, Essentials of Cardiology presents a concise account of both the theoretical and practical aspects of cardiology. It is written with the medical student and trainee in mind and contains especially clear explanations of the more difficult subjects such as electrophysiology of the heart, arrhythmias and the management of myocardial ischaemia and infraction. The text has been completely revised, and the distinguished author team now includes a paediatric cardiologist in addition to a superb clinical cardiologist and an expert in cardiac electrophysiology.
