This is a classic of cardiovascular medicine. In its newest edition Opie's book is excellent in many ways: first, it is a small book, almost a pocket-book, and loaded with concise yet precise infformation. It is the kind of book you can put in your black bag and you can belive it will be valuable anywhere, from the ICU to the ambulatory. There are many excellent chapters on drugs, all of them with an solid pharmacological basis, each chapter is an great review of the subject. But the best of this book is that it is very practical: it goes straight to the problems more commonly found in the cardiology office or in the ICU, with the big advantage of being small and portable. An must-have book for physicians intrested in cardiology and in cardiovascular drugs pharmacology, also excellent for residents. Hope we have an new edition of this great book soon!
Beautiful book, in a very handy format. Regular on line updates are extremely valuable: you never feel like falling behind with so many things happening every single day in cardiovascular pharmacology. This book should be a regular companion to whoever cares for patients with heart disease; the doctors, nurses, students and cardiovascular researchers alike.
I happened to see this book with a cardiology resident..owing to its sleek size he was carrying it in his pocket. Although the edition was 5th, i was so impressed with the chapters on beta blockers, ace inhibitors..Not only every chapter covers the basic pharmacokinetics and dynamics of each group in detail, but each drug has been considered individually as well. Add to it, the references to the clinical trials conducted, the book is indispensable. Especially the last chapter "which therapy for which condition", is a section for quick reviews before grand rounds. I made up my mind that very instant..this book is a MUST have!
Very comprehensive easy to read resource regarding cardiac drugs that is designed for health care professionals. I exceptionally like the links to updated information on the web site.
This is a fantastic academic achievement. Well written and cuts into controversies and clinical essentials. Extensive references of major trials and metaanalyses, still easy to read with clear interpretations of the results. Clear presentation of the essential mechanisms without becoming unnecessarily detailed for the non-research reader. Practically very useful and full of details that will optimize most internists and cardiologists prescriptions to get a little bit more out of the medications that so many physicians prescribe on a daily basis.
I am impressed with this book, especially the last chapter. It helps when you want to go further into treating patients with known hypertension, heart disease, high cholesterol, heart failure etc. Was useful the first day I after I purchased. Would recommend to anyone. Slightly larger than pocket size in person but I have the digital version. Beats carrying textbooks anyday!
Excellent book. Just understand that the information presented is on a physician's level not a nurse's. I would still recommend this to a critical care nurse for the physiology aspect.
I was searching for a good book for drugs used in cardiology and i think i found it. Great informations up to date, really easy to read and fits in my pocket too.
