Trade Review
From the reviews of the third edition:
“Essential Cardiology: Principles and Practice is an excellent reference book for cardiology trainees. It covers almost all of the topics and situations one may encounter in clinical practice and many topics that are missed in similar text books. … It is an up-to-date book with constant references to clinical trials and further references at the end of each chapter for those wishing to expand their knowledge further.” (H. Randula Haththotuwa, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 75 (1), January, 2014)
