Fuster and Hurst's The Heart, 15E

The landmark text that belongs in the hands of every cardiologist—fully updated and reorganized to make it more patient-centric than ever

World-famous for its authority, currency, and clinical relevance, Fuster and Hurst’s The Heart is cardiology’s longest continuously published reference book. Written to meet the ever-changing needs of cardiologists, fellows, and interns, this trusted classic offers a solid foundation in cardiovascular medicine and complete coverage of all major cardiovascular topics.

For this brand-new edition, cardiology legend Dr. Valentin Fuster and his editorial team have significantly enhanced this definitive guide to make it even more focused on the practicalities of patient care. Enhancements include:

• Content presented in a more methodical pattern, from mechanism to management
• Chapter summaries and infographics throughout
• Engaging visual/text features highlighting genetics, epidemiology and natural history, invasive and noninvasive diagnostics, treatment, clinical therapeutic challenges, and risk factors.
• ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines in all chapters
