DESCRIPTION:
Cardiovascular medicine is one of the most dynamic topics in science. a lot of new stdies are being published every few days.
We have a new guideline on at least yearly basis. However, the are basic facts that we should be aware with. There is also a lot of hidden or unclear messages in the guidelines. In thos book, I tried to focus on basics knowledege in cardiovascular medicine as well as tips and tricks in management of common diseases that we face on everyday basis.
I did my best to clarify the puzzles in the guidelines. This book is not a substitute for guidelines, rather, it is complementary and it will facilitate studying the guidelines.
I have presented the most important messages from the guidelines in a simple way that can be easily memorizable and digestible.
My humble advice is to start with this book before proceeding for reading the full text guidelines, so you will be able to catch the most important items.
This book contains also a lot of questions and answers that can help you a lot either for exams or in management of real patients.
Practical tips that focus on avoidance of common mistakes in everyday practice have been also included.
Non-guidelines topics, yet very important to know, are also included.
I hope this book can help colleagues to pass exams and to provide a better care for our beloved patients.
