I'm a PGY3 anesthesiology resident that used this book for my CT/CV months. Its a great book, makes learning CT more comprehensive if you read this at home concurrently throughout the month. Its in an outline format, sort of like how Goljian pathology was written in medical school which i really liked. I cannot think of any topic that was lacking in this book, or improvements that could be added to it. Like all books, there are some areas where there is room to disagree with fine details like drug dosages etc. Not sure if its a regional difference, but in Texas I've never seen nitroprusside used once, and this book relies on this drug as a first line medication in many circumstances. With any type of learning, you should probably read from multiple sources and never treat any book as a bible. I think I'm going to read kaplan essentials next.

I am currently a CRNA student. I bought this book to use on my cardiac rotation. It was very helpful to help me prepare for my cases. I don't have much of a cardiac background and this book was easy to red but also provided detail that I needed for my cases. I really liked the amount of pictures. I am more of a visual learner and it helped to be able to visualize what the author was talking about. Overall I think this book is a great resource.

This was a very good book with a lot of practical details. I am certain this will be helpful in my daily practice as a consultant cardiac anaesthetist to improve my standards of patient care. Can strongly recommend to consultants and postgraduate trainees.

Comprehensive, appliable, easy to read. Highly recommended.

just what I needed for my cardiac rotation

Excellent ,to the point ,clear and concise
