Increasingly, those working in primary care are expected to provide a more specialised cardiovascular prevention, diagnostic and follow-up service rather than a referral service. This comprehensive textbook of cardiology provides clear and concise information on the modern and evolving methods of diagnosis relevant to primary care, as well as risk assessment and approaches to treatment. It uses a practical symptom-based approach and addresses the common and important cardiovascular problems encountered in the GP surgery, providing the information and approach to enable the primary care team to understand and manage them.
