This new edition has been completely revised to take in all the NICE, ESC, and ESVS guidelines that have been updated over the last 5 years. It continues to couple a comprehensive overview with an attractive design and student-friendly layout to produce a book that is accessible, relevant, and current. Written by an experienced author team, it covers all the cardiology a medical student should know. Each section of the book starts with an ‘In a Heartbeat’ box which provides a useful summary of what you need to learn; these also act as excellent exam revision tools.
