DESCRIPCIÓN
Dr. Braunwald's masterwork returns ... bringing you the definitive guidance you need to overcome any challenge in clinical cardiology today, using the best approaches available! Hundreds of world authorities, many of them new to this edition, synthesize all of the recent developments that are revolutionizing practice - from the newest findings in molecular biology and genetics to the latest imaging modalities, interventional procedures, and medications. This multimedia e-dition includes not only the printed reference, but also access to the complete contents online, fully searchable, with regular updates and much more. The expertise of the contributors, the scope of the coverage, and the versatile, multimedia format all make this the ultimate reference for the practicing cardiologist.
New to this Edition:
• Apply the latest knowledge in your field with 7 new chapters on Acute Heart Failure • Device Therapy of Heart Failure • Emerging Therapies for Heart Failure • Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Management • Prevention and Management of Stroke • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy • and Coronary Arteriography Guidelines • Get fresh perspectives on your practice with contributions from more than 20 brand-new authors.
