I always had difficulty in finding all the components of clinical cardiology, like valvular heart disease, congenital heard disease, cardiac examination, ECG, chest X-ray, 2-D ECHO in one place. As I studied further, I still noticed unmet need from that perspective. This book is primarily written for the above mentioned reason and while writing this book I kept in mind UGs, PGs, those preparing for DM cardiology entrance, those who are facing cardiology exams and those who practice cardiology. The beauty of this book is that it will be a one stop book for anything related to clinical cardiology and cardiac examination. This book is divided into 2 sections, the first part is on bed side examination, technique of examination, bed side investigations, while the other part focuses on particular clinical conditions and what to look in them. As in harmony with my previous books, Cardiology Made Easy, MCQs in Cardiology, A Quick Review of Clinical Trials in Cardiology, this book, “Essentials of Clinical Cardiology” tries to solve the problem of different materials in clinical cardiology by covering everything, from A to Z in clinical cardiology. I hope that like my other three books, this book also helps to practice cardiology in a better way. Dr Adithya Udupa K --- This 372 plus paged book is purely for those who search lot of materials to get clinical expertise or approach to clinical cardiology, along with theory part of it. This book is written with an intention to help all medical students either Undergraduates, Postgraduates or super specialty students to prepare all the required material for cardiology case taking and bedside case presentation from one book without searching for other material. This book in its two divisions gives full information regarding how to take a cardiology case in bed side, how to go ahead with examination, what to look for in examination, what are all the possible findings which can be seen in particular case, what to look for in X-ray/ECG in a particular case etc. The book also narrates lots of materials which help students to prepare for viva in clinical examination and also in solving MCQs during entrance exams. In short "Essentials of Clinical Cardiology" book is a must read book for every medical student and practitioner who has the intention to mastery clinical cardiology and a great material which will fill the gaps in approach and learning of clinical cardiology.
