Fuster And Hursts The Heart 15Ed

The landmark text that belongs in the hands of every cardiologist―fully updated and reorganized to make it more patient-centric than ever
World-famous for its authority and clinical relevance, Fuster and Hurst’s The Heart is cardiology’s longest continuously published reference book. Written to meet the ever-changing needs of cardiologists, fellows, and interns, this trusted classic offers a solid foundation in cardiovascular medicine and complete coverage of all major cardiovascular topics.
This fifteenth edition presents a greater focus on the practicalities of patient care. Additionally, the content is ordered in a more methodical pattern, from mechanism to management. Reflecting the latest technical, therapeutic, and clinical advances, Fuster and Hurst’s The Heart provides invaluable concise summaries of major new trials and guidelines.
