Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Stan N Thornton, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
Description: The author has endeavored to create a concise and up-to-date reference for clinical practitioners who care for patients with coronary artery disease.
Purpose: The purpose of this book is to provide evidence-based clinical information to assist practitioners in the management of patients with coronary artery disease.
Audience: The audience is fairly broad, and includes mid-level providers, medical students, physicians-in-training, and practicing physicians who provide care to patients with coronary artery disease.
Features: Each of the book's 10 chapters focuses on a specific clinical problem. Four of the chapters address primary prevention and risk factor modification, while the remaining six outline approaches to common problems encountered taking care of patients with coronary artery disease. Topics in primary prevention include a guide for healthy living, management of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Also included are chapters on coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and a guide to cardiac imaging. The book incorporates a question and answer format for highlighting relevant clinical issues, and is nicely supported by references to landmark clinical trials. The section on cardiovascular imaging is enhanced by the inclusion of numerous color plates and illustrations.
Assessment: The author has successfully compiled an up-to-date reference on relevant topics in coronary heart disease and has presented the material in a concise, easily accessible fashion. This book will be of value to clinicians at a variety of levels who provide care for this growing population of patients.
