About this book

A concise summary of the most important medical and scientific topics concerning cardiovascular medicine in the primary care environment, this new edition of Cardiology in Family Practice has been updated with cutting-edge information and useful tips. Written in an easy-to-read format (background, diagnosis and disease management) and emphasizing practical techniques for evaluation and treatment, the authors explain the basic mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease states and the treatment strategies that arise from them. Topics include stable angina, acute coronary syndromes, arrythmias, hypertension, pericardial and valvular diseases, and hyperlipidemia. New figures have been added to each chapter in this edition. This book is a must-have for primary care physicians who wish to keep up to date with the rapidly changing field of cardiology.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This book outlines the basic concepts that a family physician should fully understand when caring for patients with the more common cardiac diagnoses. … This is primarily geared to primary care providers, whether family medicine physicians, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners. It is also a very good summary for students of medicine as it translates the current literature into usable practice concepts. … Overall, this is a helpful summary of what is important in caring for patients with heart problems.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2012)
