I used this book as a medical student and I am currently using it again to freshen up by cardiac skills as an intern.. This book is so good that I am actually going to buy the 3rd edition; I used the 2nd edition in school. I wish every medical school system course can have a book written like this.. Again fantastic and a must if you want to understand cardiac pathophysiology

Cardiology pathophysiology can be difficult, but this book lays an excellent foundation to propel from. It provides good understanding to complicated topics. Highly recommend.
