This practical guide provides a broad review of concepts in cardiovascular medicine that have evolved in recent years. Although the developments have been well reported in the subspeciality literature, this is the first comprehensive account in one volume of the advances in cardiovascular medicine and their applications to primary care practice. The book also: gives a practical perspective on new developments in diagnosis and therapy; discusses clinical trials, and applies results to everyday practice; concentrates on patient selection and response; and covers drug therapy and procedures.
