Despite the "explosive growth in cardiovascular basic science" pointed to by the editors in their preface, this new edition remains firmly oriented to the needs of clinical cardiologists, internists, pediatricians, and family physicians who need to make accurate diagnoses and design effective care. Basic science considerations are introduced only to the extent that they are needed to provide a clear rationale for clinical thinking. Generously illustrated; the text carries frequent tabular summaries.
