Thoroughly revised and updated for its Fifth Edition, this
manual is a practical quick-reference guide to the immediate and
long-term evaluation and management of cardiovascular disease.
In an easy-to-scan outline format, the book describes current
strategies for diagnosis and medical and surgical management of
all cardiovascular disorders. Numerous tables provide rapid
access to essential information.
This edition is a major revision with a distinguished new co-
author, Gordon A. Ewy, MD. Sections on coronary artery disease,
acute myocardial infarction, and lipids have been completely
reworked and chapters on therapy and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation have been rewritten. This edition also includes
more tables and drawings.
