CARDIOLOGY AT ITS CORE
A comprehensive learning resource translating cardiology principles
to practice for postgraduate clinicians who are commencing
specialist training in cardiology
Taking a ‘first principles’ approach to anatomy, physiology and
pathology, Cardiology at its Core explores key areas pertinent to
cardiovascular medicine from a conceptual perspective, combining the
best points of a handbook and a textbook by translating principles
to practice.
The text is interspersed with a range of flow charts, tables and
diagrams to engage the reader and enable long-term comprehension and
recall. Each chapter ends with ‘hot points’ and self-assessment
sections to highlight material of particular relevance and
consolidate learning. Landmark trials, including those published as
recently as 2022, are highlighted within the main text and
summarised succinctly at the end of each chapter for further
reading.
Cardiology at its Core includes content on:
Underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology, followed by an
exploration of diagnostic strategies and management options
Electrophysiological principles, atrial fibrillation, narrow complex
tachycardias, broad complex tachycardias, and bradycardias and
conduction disease
The cardiac pump, arterial and venous system, regulation of the
circulatory system, coronary vasculature, and stable angina and
non-invasive testing
Ischaemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, valvular disease,
cardiomyopathies, and crucial integration of concepts from bench to
bedside
Cardiology at its Core is an ideal learning resource for those
commencing specialty training. It is also broadly aligned with
European guidelines, resulting in the provision of a relevant and
contemporary revision aid for those undertaking core specialist
examinations prior to completion of training.
