Camm A. John (Ed.) The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine

European Society of Cardiology, 2006. — 1109 p. — ISBN: 978-1405126953."One of its remarkable achievements in addition to the high standard of writing is its superb illustrations, figures, and tables that appear on virtually every page. They are well placed within the text and contribute in making the book easy and interesting to read. A refreshing new touch to this book is the incorporation in each chapter not only of a succinct summary at the beginning but also a brief personal perspective of the future direction of the field by the authors at the chapter’s end.
One of the most valuable features of The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine is the electronic version…the editors have provided a solid foundation on which to build an electronic edifice that will not be outdated. They also seem to have mastered the technological state-of-the art such that the user can navigate through any of the 36 chapters from virtually any sentence in the book in a most friendly fashion."The Morphology of the Electrocardiogram
