Synopsis

A practical pocket guide to prescribing cardiac drugs. The book organizes all drugs round the diseases they are used to treat, assisting the user in the decision-making process. Individual agents are discussed in terms of pharmacology, indicators, pharmacokinetics, administration (both adult and paediatric), patient monitoring, adverse affects and interactions with other drugs. The book covers the six major categories of cardiovascular disease and briefly reviews both basic and clinical aspects of cardiac drug therapy. This new edition is thoroughly updated and incorporates new agents that have come onto the market since the first edition. A new section has been added on drugs for cardiac transplantation.
