Description

The Textbook of Interventional Cardiology, 8th Edition, edited by Eric J. Topol and Paul S. Teirstein, is one of the best-known references in catheter-based cardiovascular medicine. Published by Elsevier in 2019, this 1,184-page volume covers the theories, trends and applications of diagnostic and interventional cardiology. It is written for physicians who perform or plan procedures and want to understand not only how an intervention is done, but why it is chosen and what the evidence says.

Who should use the Textbook of Interventional Cardiology

• Interventional cardiology fellows who need a comprehensive reference throughout their training.
• Practising interventional cardiologists who want to review techniques, devices and evidence for specific procedures.
• General cardiology fellows rotating through the catheterization laboratory.
• Cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists and imaging specialists who work alongside interventional teams.

If you are preparing for interventional certification, combine this textbook with a question-based review such as 1133 Questions: An Interventional Cardiology Board Review. Our cardiology board review study plan explains how to organise reading and questions.

What the book covers

According to the publisher, the Textbook of Interventional Cardiology covers the theories, trends and applications of diagnostic and interventional cardiology. In practical terms, it addresses the procedures performed in the catheterization laboratory, the clinical reasoning behind patient selection and the evidence supporting each approach. Its length reflects a reference that aims to be comprehensive rather than introductory.

About the 8th Edition

This page offers the 8th edition of the Textbook of Interventional Cardiology, published by Elsevier in September 2019 (ISBN-13 9780323568142). Interventional cardiology is one of the fastest-changing fields in medicine: devices, structural heart procedures and trial results evolve every year. Use this edition for its depth on principles and techniques, follow recent trials and society statements for the latest evidence, and check which edition your fellowship programme recommends.

How to study interventional cardiology with a large textbook

A reference of over a thousand pages works best when it is tied to your caseload:

1. Prepare for tomorrow’s list. Read the chapter that matches the procedures scheduled for the next day, then compare what you read with what you see in the lab.
2. Debrief complex cases. After a difficult procedure, return to the relevant section to understand the alternatives and potential complications.
3. Turn chapters into questions. Write short questions on indications, techniques and complications, and review them with active recall a few days later.

For professional education, quality initiatives and position statements in the specialty, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) is a valuable complement to the textbook.

Format, preview and access

Image-rich procedural content reads best in a fixed layout; see our guide on PDF vs EPUB for medical textbooks.
