Handbook of Interventional Cardiac Procedures for Junior Cardiologists

About the Book

This book is published for doctors, especially juniors, working in all specialties of cardiology (clinical, noninvasive, and invasive). It is an up-to-date, practical, and user-friendly book that contains almost all the information needed by cardiologists in their day-to-day clinical work. It derives its contents from the latest international cardiology guidelines and practices and the most recent literature in the specialization. I am sure cardiologists of all different experience levels will find it useful.
