Manual of Cardiology provides an up-to-date, practical, and concise text on the evaluation, diagnosis, management, and prevention of a wide spectrum of cardiovascular disease. The advantages and disadvantages of diuretic therapy, vasodilators, neurohormone modulators, positive inotropic agents, antilipid, and antiplatelet agents have been discussed. The clinical pharmacology of these agents in the management of various cardiovascular disorders has been emphasized. ·Incorporates advances in the understanding of the genesis of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, in the techniques of electrophysiologic and the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment of arrhythmias. ·The diagnosis and management of valvular heart disease, heart failure, chemotherapy and radiation-induced cardiovascular disorders are discussed in detail. · Modified guidelines for the management of angina, arrhythmias, heart failure, valvular heart diseases, and perioperative cardiac evaluations. This book provides the reader with easily accessible information in the most appropriate manner with numerous tables, figures and algorithms. ·The manual can serve as a quick reference or a stand-alone source with a focus on hands-on therapeutic guidance for the clinicians. Written by experts with an enormous cumulative experience, both in practise as well as research.
