Description
Book SynopsisIllustrated Guide to Cardiovascular Disease is an extensive and highly visual guide, encompassing the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, along with cardiac anatomy and physiology.
This book is divided into 58 chapters across seven sections. Each section covers a different disease or group of heart diseases, including coronary artery disease, heart failure and cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, and a final section on miscellaneous cardiovascular diseases.
Each chapter features detailed discussion on common and uncommon conditions and their pathology, with the latest therapies in cardiology and European and American guidelines highlighted throughout the book. More than 1700 full colour images, illustrations, figures, flow charts and tables enhance Illustrated Guide to Cardiovascular Disease, an invaluable resource for all cardiologists.
