Orams Clinical Heart Disease (Hardcover)

Orams Clinical Heart Disease was one of the most popular books on Clinical Cardiology in 1980s. However it could not be updated during the last 17 years during which time spectacular advances have been made in almost all fields of cardiology. As a result the practice of cardiology has seen a marked change in the last two decades. The current edition has been completely revised to include various current diagnostic and therapeutic teachings while keeping the emphasis on clinical cardiology-which has been the strong point of earlier editions. The book should be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of medicine and practising clinicians who are interested in the practice of cardiology.
