Description
Cardiology at its Core provides a comprehensive learning resource for postgraduate clinicians starting specialist training in cardiology. By taking a 'first principles' approach to anatomy, physiology and pathology, this book explores key areas of cardiovascular medicine from a conceptual perspective. The text is supplemented with flow charts, tables and diagrams to engage the reader and facilitate long-term comprehension and recall. Each chapter concludes with 'hot points' and self-assessment sections to highlight material of particular relevance and consolidate learning. Recent landmark trials are also highlighted within the main text and summarised at the end of each chapter for further reading. This book covers a range of topics, including underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology, diagnostic strategies and management options, as well as ischaemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, valvular disease, cardiomyopathies, and more. It is an ideal learning resource for those commencing specialty training in cardiology.
