✦ Synopsis

This second editionis a ground-breaking clinical text with a strong emphasis on rigorous evidence. Leaders in the field discuss best practice in the light of systematic reviews and randomised control trials, and how best to treat where the information is less clear. Case histories provide intriguing discussions on how to apply the evidence in real life situations.

Evidence-based Cardiology also includes free access to the latest evidence, which is automatically posted on a companion website.
