The Pocketbook of Cardiology is designed to provide the practical information required for managing cardiology in-patients and out-patients. This includes sections on dealing with common out-patient consultations, common interspecialty referrals, cardiological problems on the cardiac surgery unit, acute cardiological emergencies, and terminal care in cardiology. Also, as cardiology is a specialty with a high technical content, sections will be included that provide the core information relating to the common technical subspecialties - echocardiography, cardiac catheterisation and catheter intervention, pacing and electrophysiology. Finally, a technical data section will be included which details normal values for cardiac catheterisation, echocardiography and electrocardiography. This is a practical manual of cardiology not a pocket reference textbook. Attractive two colour layout in the same style as other books in series. Good value for money. Acknowledges the changes in specialist training with doctors entering cardiology as career registrars and creating a demand for practically-based materials.
