DRUGS for The HEART 8TH Edition 2013 PDF

Preface

Taking the profound advice of these two early authors, changes for this
eight edition are the following:
1. To stay current, rapid access to new information and new references
is mandatory. We anticipate an increasing online use of this
book, which will be relatively easy. In addition, as shown on the
cover, this edition is now available online on Expert Consult. The
website contains our regular updates on the important new drug
trials. References in the online version of the book can now be
accessed by a simple click that will link the reader to the article
abstract in PubMed, and then to the original article. Please refer to
the inside front cover on how to register using your unique PIN code.
2. These steps promote our aim of providing a readily accessible guide
to cardiovascular drugs in a unique style and format. This compact
book, again in the widely acclaimed unique format, gives crucial
information in an easily accessible format for residents, cardiology
fellows, and senior students (and, of course, consultants). We believe
that this new edition will be more in demand than ever as it will be
kept even more current than the previous editions.
3. Many of the illustrations are either new or newly re-created with the
aim of conveying maximum clarity, in keeping with the increasingly
visual times in which we live. In the Lancet, Kim Eagle stated that
the book has the clearest figures that he has ever seen. We owe
our sincerest gratitude to Jeannie Walker for her artistic genius, skills,
and patience…
