Essential Atlas of Cardiovascular Disease

The Essential Atlas of Cardiovascular Disease takes a comprehensive look at all pertinent areas of cardiovascular disease. This four-color atlas includes detailed legends and extensive reference listings for hundreds of illustrations, algorithms, schematics, and images. Topics covered include atherosclerosis, vascular disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, hypertension, valvular disease, interventional cardiology, nuclear cardiology, cardiovascular imaging (echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance), and many others. Supported by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, this atlas is an invaluable resource for primary care physicians, cardiologists, and all professionals involved in the study and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
