Handbook of Outpatient Cardiology

This handbook serves as a pocket-sized resource to aid with the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease in the outpatient setting. Containing up-to-date information on the most recent guidelines and clinical trials, this reference presents a broad overview of outpatient cardiovascular issues in a concise, clear text. Each chapter focuses on a specific cardiovascular disease state and outlines the key steps for diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease in the outpatient setting. The goal of this handbook is to help outpatient providers prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of heart disease--including coronary disease, valve disease, irregular heart rhythms, and advanced heart failure.

The Handbook of Outpatient Cardiology is an essential resource for cardiology and internal medicine physicians, trainees, affiliate providers, and students.
