Now the authority of the American Heart Association meets the speed and convenience of the 5-Minute Consult series in one text that is a must for general cardiologists, internists, family physicians, and other primary care practitioners. Readers will find quick access to both common and uncommon cardiologic problems that present in the outpatient setting. The easy-to-use format saves time for anyone seeking fast, reliable information on general approaches to cardiac problems, specific diseases, common syndromes, and chief complaints.
