- Abstract
- This book is a single compact reference that describes a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed by cardiologists. The focus is on the clinical application of these procedures with descriptions of their technical aspects, as well as contraindications and potential complications. How to interpret data generated during these procedures is discussed and this book includes case presentations to illustrate how these techniques are utilized in clinical practice. Cardiology Procedures: A Clinical Primer contains the distilled information and data important to the clinician or trainee who involved in the clinical care of cardiac patients. Comprising didactic material designed to help in learning the diagnostic and therapeutic cardiology procedures performed in clinical practice, it will also be useful for trainees and practitioners in related disciplines.
