Reviews

From the reviews:

"...an extremely useful and time-saving resource." - AAA Newsletter

"For those involved with cardiovascular devices, there is good information here." -American Journal of Cardiology

"The Handbook offers a remarkably comprehensive, up-to-date, and clinically focused reference of heart-related sciences … . The authors’ enthusiasm and intimate knowledge of the subject is reflected in well-written, carefully referenced chapters, including on-line references. A uniquely important (and elsewhere rarely available) feature of this book is comparative cardiac anatomy of experimental species, which is extremely useful for basic and clinical researchers, biomedical engineers, and those training surgeons." (Anna Lerant, American Academy of Advertising Newsletter, March, 2006)
