Hurst's the Heart, Arteries and Veins (Single Volume)

Substantial and transforming revision of the classic text. Dramatically revised and updated to reflect the modern molecular focus of the new cardiology while embracing the practicing physician's need for concise information on diagnosis and therapy. The next generation of leading lights in cardiology add their contributions here. New highlights include a wholly current chapter on myocardial infarction, a unified chapter on physical examination which consolidates material previously located throughout the text, expanded cardiac imaging throughout, a new chapter on gene therapy from a world leader, and reorganization of the disease sections into mini-books making quick reference fast and easy.
