Cardiology at a Glance

Great little book. Author is a seasoned clinician. I recommend this book to my residents. Hope update is comming.

Dr. James Thogtam - Correction I have used this book only for a day, very good format and precisely what I was looking for. But there is a small correction, so publisher and author note: Page 179 Lipid Management says >100 LDL cholesterol is optimal (it is wrong). The next page says <100 LDL Cholesterol is optimal (it is right). Page 179 needs to be fixed.

I've just completed by 1st year of fellowship training in cardiovascular medicine. During the beginning of the academic year, I heavily referred to this small volume. I recommend this book for the following reasons: 1) it is succinct; 2) it expresses a good deal of relevant cardiological pearls; 3) it serves as a good frame of reference during the limited & hectic time-schedule of a first-year fellow. As one advances in the fellowship process, one will refer to textbooks and other more elaborately-detailed references. However, "Cardiology At A Glance" is a good point of departure for anyone commencing fellowship. I hope the authors revise the book since the edition I have dates from 2002.

This book is a necessity for any first year cardiology fellow or housestaff managing cardiovascular patients. Thats all the time I have to write!
