Current Best Practice in Interventional Cardiology addresses
the questions which challenge clinicians involved with
interventional procedures. Helpfully organized into four sections,
the text addresses; coronary artery disease, non-coronary
interventions, left ventricular failure and the latest advances in
imaging technologies, and provides authoritative guidance on the
current recommendations for best practice.
Containing contributions from an international team of opinion
leaders, this new book reviews the key advances in equipment,
techniques and therapeutics and is an accessible reference
for all hospital-based specialists.
