Cardiovascular disease. Student manual

The present volume "Cardiovascular disease. Student manual", which is meant for 5 year Faculty of Medicine students, represents the first part of a new revised edition, written in accordance to the latest guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. It also includes sugestive electrocardiographic images. The first edition, "Heart and respiratory disease", was published as a single volume back in 2011. Taking into account the remarkable progress made in the field of Cardiology since then, but also the lattest developements in respiratory disease, we best considered structuring the material in two distinct parts, each one adressing the respective pathologies separately. We sincerely hope that the present book will be of real use to the new generation of medical students.
