Essential Cardiology: Principles and Practice

This second edition reflects the very rapid advances that have been made in our understanding and management of cardiovascular disease since the first edition was published in 2001. All of the chapters have been extensively reviewed and rewritten. There are now two chapters on acute coronary syndromes, reflecting the modern classification: one on unstable angina pectoris and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and the other on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Otherwise the format of the first edition has been retained, to include sections on epidemiology, cardiovascular function, examination and investigation of the patient, disorders of rhythm and conduction, heart failure, congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, hypertension, and other conditions affecting the heart.
