According to the publisher, this edition covers the latest developments in the field in detail.

Who should read Current Diagnosis and Treatment Cardiology

• Internal medicine residents who manage cardiac patients on the wards and in clinic.
• Cardiology fellows looking for a practical, up-to-date clinical companion.
• Hospitalists, general physicians and primary care clinicians who see cardiovascular disease every day.
• Physician assistants and nurse practitioners working in cardiology services.

If you are preparing for examinations, pair this clinical text with a review book such as The Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review and use our cardiology board review study plan to structure your time.

What the book covers

Like other titles in the CURRENT series, the book is organised around clinical problems, with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment rather than basic science. It addresses the main conditions of adult cardiovascular medicine in a format designed for quick, practical consultation.

How to use a clinical cardiology text day to day

Current Diagnosis and Treatment Cardiology is most useful when you use it around real patients:

1. Look up today’s diagnoses. After a ward round or clinic, read the chapters on the conditions you saw, while the cases are still fresh.
2. Build a management summary. For each major condition, write a one-page summary of diagnostic criteria, first-line investigations and treatment principles.
3. Test yourself later. Turn your summaries into questions and review them after a few days with active recall.

For the guidelines that sit behind daily cardiology practice, consult the American College of Cardiology.
