For busy clinicians, residents, and fellows continually challenged with a rapidly expanding body of cardiology information, this expertly conceived Third Edition of a best-selling textbook provides a contemporary succinct distillation of the current status of cardiovascular knowledge and disease. From specific diseases to particular signs, symptoms, and patient concerns, including pregnancy and heart disease and cardiac emergency, this easily readable textbook guides the reader through all the essential information required to skillfully approach professional board examinations and practice state-of-the-art clinical patient care.

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ This is the standard by which most other Cardiology board review texts are measured. This new version is not as readable in my opinion as its previous version. The whole reason I bought it was to avoid the Brunwauld-esque style, but alas I think this text book is becoming like the Braunwald text which certainly is not a review book. On the other hand, the ECG section in outline format was too bare bones. All in all, not the greatest review book in the world but not too many viable alternatives when trying to review for Cardiology Boards. I guess it’s the only game in town.

⭐ Excellent condition & a great study aid. Definitely recommend it. Received it in new condition and promptly

⭐ very efficient delivery.product in very good state.

⭐ I bought this book as a resident transitioning into a cardiology fellowship. The content is between a board review book and a more comprehensive text, i.e. Braunwald. It is an excellent resource for a focused, yet thorough, review of most cardiology topics.Strenghts are that it is very readable, has key points emphasized in outline format throughout text, is sufficiently detailed to learn a topic relatively well, has pertinent cardiology trials integrated into the text, and a nice very focused key point review at the end for last minute board prep.One con is that there are no references to journal articles for more detailed reading.I would recommend this book to any resident wanting a good cardiogy text or for fellows in training. Also a nice review for practicing cardiologists.

⭐ I am using this book as a review for CV Boards, which is why I think most people buy this book and what is was originally intended for. First the negative. This book is an easy read, you can usually get through a chapter (~ 10 pages) in 1/2 hour – 45 minutes with decent retention. Problem is there are 126 Chapters!! The time input is not necessarily the issue though, the main issue is that there seems to be a lot of “fat” in the book which needs to be trimmed. There is a lot in here which could have been done without, such as genetic, pathophysiologic, and pharmacologic minutiae which appears superfluous for board review. I think another reviewer put it best with the red pen remark. I realize that Mayo is trying to develop this IP into something of a review-cum-textbook, but I think this schizophrenic approach hampers rather than helps its overall usefulness. Most people either want a review or a reference textbook, but not something in-between. Finally, I think the organization of the book could use a little work. This may be a result of multiple authors which contributes to a sometimes inconsistent style from chapter to chapter–again, the need for better editing. Some chapters seem to place more emphasis on CV Board review than others–a feature made more obvious by the omission of the very useful “CV Board Points” in some chapters.On the flip side, this book is well-written and, as mentioned above, easy to read. There are beautiful images–both color and non. The ECGs are well-depicted and references appropriately from the text within chapters. The section on ECG review is very useful.Overall, as a CV review this is now an “OK” source. I would recommend it with only minor reservation as depicted above.

⭐ Not sure when the next edition is coming out, but it should be soon – while this is an easy read and a good overview of topics on the CV boards, there are quite a few areas that have evolved in cardiology since this book was published in 2007, particularly in the areas of valve disease management and anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy. If you do buy this edition, make sure you read current guidelines or uptodate to supplement some of this outdated information.

⭐ Excellent resource book that is written clearly enough for people who are not necessarily medically trained. Reading the chapter on my own heart condition allowed me to have a great conversation with my cardiologist that went beyond the usual “this is what you have, take these pills, see me again in 6 months….”. This book is great!

⭐ Not a bad book, but, has grown much since last edition. Maybe the folks at Mayo forgot, but it’s supposed to be a ‘concise’ review textbook. You might as well read Braunwald to prepare for the boards. A good editor needs to take a good strong red pen and take out about 300-500 pages.

⭐ Very good review for Cardiology Boards. Not necessarily an easy read but the review books which are as such tend to be too simple. This is probably a good happy medium between the quickie review books and a Braunwald’s

⭐ There are many papers published on heart abnormalities in CFS/ME patients, but this research does not seem to have been addressed by this book, so I consider it quite incomplete.
