Synopsis:
Prepared by cardiology fellows and residents and reviewed by attending cardiologists, this handy quick reference from the Washington University School of Medicine is a pragmatic guide to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease. It covers symptoms and diseases, inpatient and outpatient approaches, and acute and chronic problems with the same front-lines practicality as the world-famous Washington Manual(TM) of Medical Therapeutics. Reflecting today's emphasis on evidence-based medicine, the practical approaches are clearly supported by clinical investigations. The extensive coverage of testing and procedures includes imaging, diagnostic testing modalities, management of anticoagulation in surgical patients, and cardiovascular critical care procedures such as intra-aortic balloon pump, temporary transvenous pacemaker, and Swan-Ganz catheterization. Platform: Palm OS, Windows CE, and Pocket PC handheld devices The Washington Manual(TM) is an intent-to-use mark belonging to Washington University in St. Louis to which international legal protection applies. The mark is used in this publication by LWW under license from Washington University.
