5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, Sep 24 2009

This review is from: Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (Paperback)
This is a great book for health care professionals seeking an in-depth, yet adequately concise, introduction to cardiac pathophysiology. The book starts with a review of the functional physiology of the heart and then moves on to more involved topics. The clarity of the text and the logical flow of information are great assets of the book and put it at the top of its category. Don't expect figures with fancy colors, but what is provided is adequate and illustrates well the text. Various on-line resources are also provided.

5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Student, MSIII, Jan 23 2004

This review is from: Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (Paperback)
Greatest heart pathophysiology book I have found. The book gives you a firm grasp of heart physiology and uses that to build your clinical and pathophysiology of disease knowledge. And, it's brief. If you don't have time for Braunwald's this is the next best thing. I'll never get rid of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Bible", May 27 2004
By 
This review is from: Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (Paperback)
My classmates generally do not like buying books in their first two years of coursework, since we are issued coursenotes. I knew, however, that this book was a must-buy when people always made reference to it as "the Bible".

This book is short and sweet, doing a great job covering basics like electrophysiology, the theory of the ECG, atheroscleorsis, coronary artery disease and MIs, congestive heart failure, and pharmacotherapy. One reviewer mentioned that this book will not let you just up and interpret ECGs, which is true. However, that takes quite a bit of practice and goes beyond this book's scope. What the book does do is provide a good explanation of some basics principles underlying the ECG's use that makes their interpretation a little more intuitive, rather than just looking at arbitrary squiggles.

This book is the real deal, and should be up on your shelf with other big names like Harrison's and Robbins.
