This new atlas of cardiovascular disease includes both a large book and a DVD of images and videos, along with added online features available through the publisher's website. The book is as much image as text, and includes gross and microscopic digital photographs of pathologies, scan images, medical illustrations, and images of living individuals and preserved specimens, along with graphs and charts. Most are in full color. The text serves to explicate the images, and to give related diagnostic tests, treatments, device-based therapies, risk factors, summaries, and assessments. The book is written by a large team of cardiovascular specialists, and is designed for medical students, cardiology professionals in medicine, surgery, and nursing, and allied health professionals.
