ISBN : 9780198759935
The ESC Handbook on Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy, based on the most recent guidelines in cardiovascular pharmacology, and containing a comprehensive A-Z formulary of common and less commonly used cardiac drugs and drug groups, provides practical and accessible guidance on all areas of drug prescribing. Previously published as Drugs in Cardiology, this new edition has been developed by the ESC Working Group on Cardiovascular Pharmacology. Pharmacology is an integral aspect in almost all disciplines within cardiology and all cardiologists use cardiovascular drugs. Completely updated and aligned with the ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines for prescribing, this handbook is essential reading for consultants, registrars in training, general practitioners, specialist cardiac nurses and cardiovascular pharmacologists.
