Clinical Cardiology: Current Practice Guidelines - Tapa blanda

This is not just a textbook; it is an extraordinary 'toolkit'... probably the book that better serves the cardiovascular specialist in day-to-day practice than any other written in the last two decades (Dr Fuster, Mount Sinai Hospital, USA)

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to medical students, trainees, and specialists who have a thirst for updated, easily available information. (Professor Panos Vardas, Hellenic Journal of Cardiology)

Written by renowned experts in cardiology, this unique, concise, and very clearly written book incorporates both all current ACCF/AHA and ESC Guidelines and the latest scientific knowledge. Therefore, it could become a leading comprehensive compendium in cardiology. (European Heart Journal)

Dr Katritsis is an interventional cardiologist and electrophysiologist, leading a multidisciplinary team of clinical and invasive cardiologists and basic scientists. He has a PhD on coronary angioplasty from the University of London, and has been Lecturer In Clinical Cardiology at St George's Hospital, London. He performs all kinds of interventional cardiology procedures including complex coronary intervention and TAVR, ablation of complex arrhythmias, and implantation of devices. Besides his clinical involvement, Dr Katritsis runs an active research program and has published over 250 original articles in international journals on most aspects of cardiology but mainly on coronary circulation, indications of intervention, and arrhythmias. He is on the editorial board of several cardiology journals, and has participated in most European and American textbooks of cardiology with contribution of chapters. Professor John Camm qualified in 1971. He worked at Guy's Hospital before working at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London.

He is now the Chairman of the Division of Cardiac and Vascular Sciences at St. George's University of London. His major speciality is cardiac arrhythmias but he is also much involved in clinical cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac pacemakers, risk stratification in post myocardial infarction, heart failure and cardiomyopathy patients. He has a major interest in cardiovascular safety of cardiac and non-cardiac drugs. John has given over 1500 lectures to national and international audiences, written more than 1000 peer review papers and over 250 detailed reviews. He has authored and edited numerous books. Dr. Gersh's wide interests include the natural history and therapy of acute and chronic coronary artery disease, clinical electrophysiology and in particular atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death, the cardiomyopathies and the clinical implications of molecular genetics in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac stem cell therapy and the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease in the developing world. Dr. Gersh is the editor of 13 books and is on the editorial board of 25 journals including Circulation, Journal of the American College of Cardiology (Senior Consulting Editor), Nature Cardiovascular Medicine,and The European Heart Journal (2009 Deputy Editor).
