It is thorough, well organized, and well written with superb graphics, encompassing the most important aspects of clinical cardiology. The editors and contributors created this book to aid cardiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac and related diseases. The editors have also designed the book so it can be continuously updated and revised when new studies change the way we practice. It is this structure and organization that is unique to the second edition and justifies the replacement of the first edition. -- Keith G.
