About this title

Review:

Circulation, 21-SEP-04, Volume 110, Issue 12, William H. Barry, MD, University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Salt Lake City, UT -- "Many excellent basic cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology texts are available to help the academic or practicing cardiologist keep abreast of the rapid developments in these areas. Few, however, combine a lucid and up-to-date description of new and established findings in laboratory research with an informed discussion of their clinical relevance to the pathophysiology and treatment of cardiac disease. This new edition of Dr. Opie's highly regarded book does this extremely well..." "I believe this book should be required reading for 1st-year cardiology fellows and will be very useful as well to the established cardiologist wishing to maintain a current knowledge base in cardiovascular science that is relevant to their practice."-Circulation
