Infos

With the rapid development of the field of cardiac biomarkers comes
a need for updated guidance on how to use them clinically. Drs.
Adams, Jaffe, and Apple meet that need with this timely
reference.

Taking a case-oriented approach for the greatest clinical
relevance, the book bridges the gap between science and practice.
If you use - or want to use - cardiac markers such as
BNP and troponin to help your patients, you will find this clear
and comprehensive reference provides a dependable source of
valuable information.

The 19 chapters are divided into three parts:

* Cardiac Troponins

* Natriuretic Peptides

* Contemporary Markers of Risk

The authors cover the technical, clinical, and outcome
assessments for each marker used in clinical practice. After each
case scenario, an extensive discussion explains the clinical
decisions and provides valuable context.

Rezensionen

"I think this is a good book and good value for money. It is fairly light reading and I found myself wanting to make notes and use it as a point of reference as it pulls things together well. Therefore, I would recommend it to others." (Cardiology News, February 2009)
