SGLT2 inhibitors have reshaped heart failure therapy. Updated ACC/AHA guidelines have overhauled perioperative cardiovascular risk assessment. Early rhythm-control strategies are rewriting how atrial fibrillation is managed. Transcatheter valve interventions are expanding into new populations.
Cardiology moves fast. Textbooks published even two or three years ago cannot reflect the guideline updates, landmark trial data, and pharmacologic advances that have changed clinical practice since. When your reference is out of date, your patients carry the risk.
Cardiology Diagnosis and Treatment Essentials is a focused, current, single-volume cardiology textbook built for the way cardiovascular medicine is practiced today. Written for you — whether you are an internal medicine resident, cardiology fellow, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, hospitalist, or primary care clinician — it delivers pathophysiology-to-bedside coverage of the four highest-yield cardiovascular domains alongside preventive cardiology, imaging, pharmacology, cardiomyopathies, aortic disease, and cardiovascular emergencies.
- Four-pillar GDMT for HFrEF: ARNI, beta-blocker, MRA, and SGLT2 inhibitor initiation, titration, and sequencing
- Complete ACS management from NSTEMI risk stratification through STEMI reperfusion and post-MI secondary prevention
- Atrial fibrillation: CHA2DS2-VASc scoring, DOAC selection, rate versus rhythm control, and catheter ablation indications
- Ventricular arrhythmias, inherited channelopathies, ICD indications, and sudden cardiac death prevention
- Aortic and mitral valve disease with current surgical and transcatheter intervention thresholds
- Acute aortic syndromes, pulmonary embolism risk stratification, ACLS protocols, and hypertensive emergencies
- Perioperative cardiovascular evaluation using the 2024 ACC/AHA stepwise algorithm
- Cardio-oncology, cardiovascular disease in pregnancy, and adult congenital heart disease
- More than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos accessible through integrated QR codes
- Clinical images and illustrations throughout the text
- Clinical pearls, case vignettes, comparison tables, and key-point summaries in every chapter
- Rapid-reference appendices: drug dosing tables, hemodynamic normals, ECG pattern recognition, guideline summaries, and clinical scoring systems
This is a textbook that teaches through clinical reasoning and worked examples — not a question bank that drills. It gives you depth without bulk, current evidence without compromise, and a single resource that replaces the need to carry three.
Give your patients the advantage of a clinician whose cardiology knowledge is current. Start here.
