Taylor's cardiovascular diseases: a handbook

This handbook, edited by Dr. Robert Taylor, deals with cardiovascular problems that primary clinicians often find difficult to diagnose or treat. Each chapter discusses areas in which the reader gains in-depth knowledge on complex terms (such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and cardiovascular emergencies). Also unique to the handbook is its extensive coverage of cerebrovascular disease, medical care of the surgical patient, and selective disorders. Contributors to the text include some of the most internationally prestigious names in the field.
