Summary
The landmark text that belongs in the hands of every cardiologist—fully updated and reorganized to make it more patient-centric than ever
Authoritative, comprehensive, and current, Fuster and Hurst's the Heart is the longest standing cardiology print reference on the market. Cardiologists, fellows, and internists across the globe rely on its authority, breadth of coverage, and clinical relevance to optimize patient outcomes.
Cardiology legend Dr. Valentin Fuster and his editorial team have significantly enhanced this definitive guide to make it even more focused on the practicalities of patient care. Enhancements include content presented in a more methodical pattern, from mechanism to management; chapter summaries and infographics throughout; and engaging visual/text features highlighting genetics, epidemiology and natural history, invasive and noninvasive diagnostics, treatment, clinical therapeutic challenges, and risk factors. The editors have also decreased the number of chapters in the first three sections and provided ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines in all chapters. This is the first medical textbook to publish both a text summary and a visual abstract.
