Useful book
This book is a useful tool when you consider a cardiology rotation and internal medicine day to day problems. It includes a good number of recent data with reference to the articles of origin. Overall has more than the Washington Manual of Medical therapeutics regarding cardiology, explaining better the WHYs of the therapy. It does not include everything you cuould imagine in terms of Cardiology and it is not a textbook. It can surely though become the starting point of a more in depth knowledge of cardiology
Comparison with last edition
The book is defficient in core knowledge of cardio as compared to the previous edition. The style in which references were given in the previous edition was also better. But the new book is more reader friendly, concise yet comprehensive.
Completely satisfied
I am a second year medicine resident and planning a fellowship in cardiology. This book was very helpful in many respects. Firstly the management mentioned in this book is a brief summary of latest ACC guidelines. In addition it gives an idea of landmark trials hence helps you get an impression on your attending. Finally the information is very nicely classified so it's very easy to find the right info at the right place. I would give some credits of getting my fellowship to this book.
