Riassunto

Building on the strong foundation provided by the 6th edition of Braunwald's Heart Disease, this thoroughly revised and updated reference is now more user-friendly and clinically useful than ever. Extensively cross-referenced with tables and figures, it facilitates the decision-making process clinicians face when choosing among various cardiovascular therapeutic options. This new edition of Cardiovascular Therapeutics covers the latest concepts in pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of patients with cardiovascular disorders-in partnership with the Braunwald text for a comprehensive yet focused clinical resource.
