Rating:
Summary: A phenomenal necessity
Review: Its about time a book like this came out in the field of cardiology...its an absolute necessity for anyone interested in or practicing cardiology. This book succeeds in composing a comprehensive and reliable and up-to-date resource on all facets of cardiovascular medicine that have been defined by clinical trials. It describes the state-of-the-art in each field of cardiology (intervention, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, etc) and then describes all the relevant studies that have been done to create that standard of care. Its as recent as December, 1999 in reviewing relevant publications.

Summary: concise and to the point
Review: This book is a very helpful pocket book for both Cardiovascular medicine fellows, Medical residents, practising cardiologists as well as any physician with a true interest in evidence supported management of cardiovascular disease. The most relevant large scale trials are reviewed in support of standards of care or consensus guidelines set out in the book. It also does a good job of covering the broad spectrum of cardiology. It definitely merits at least 4 stars
