Riassunto

The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiac Care is a key reference for training and accreditation in this specialty. It serves as a reference for experienced and trainee cardiologists and intensivists from all over Europe, establishing a common basis of knowledge in the field and a uniform and improved quality of care, and is fully consistent with guidelines specified in the ESC Core Curriculum for Acute Cardiac Care.

The book comprises 76 chapters, each written by an international opinion leader. The chapters are augmented with numerous high quality colour images.

The printed edition is complemented by an online version, which allows access to the full content of the textbook, provides links from all references through to primary research journal articles, allows full text searches and access to the many figures and tables that can be downloaded for PowerPoint presentations, and hosts video material and multiple-choice questions.

Recensione

I found a tremendous amount of useful information in this book that was easy to access. In addition, the online version makes mobile access feasible. Concise, yet comprehensive in its coverage of this important topic... it will be of considerable value to those who work in acute and intensive cardiac care. (Journal of the American Heart Association)

The book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and clear review of the basic science, pathophysiology, and evidence-based medicine that comprises the core of IACC. It is encyclopedic and well written, and its 181 authors represent a Whos Who of respected contributors throughout Europe and the world. The level of detail, the plethora of topics, the quality of the illustrations, the expertise of the authors, and the depth of the bibliographies are impressive. The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiac Care is an exceptional resource and invaluable review text. An excellent purchase for senior clinicians in cardiology and critical care and a must-have for cardiac intensivists-intraining, it also will be useful to scientists, clinical investigators, journal editors, and practicing clinicians.
