A practical pocket guide to prescribing cardiac drugs. The book organizes all drugs round the diseases they are used to treat, assisting the user in the decision-making process. Individual agents are discussed in terms of pharmacology, indicators, pharmacokinetics, administration (both adult and paediatric), patient monitoring, adverse affects and interactions with other drugs. The book covers the six major categories of cardiovascular disease and briefly reviews both basic and clinical aspects of cardiac drug therapy.
This is a well written reference book, especially for those in nursing or the other health care professions. Good study guide for students as well.
This book is outstanding!

This text is very useful in explaining pathophysiology of cardiac events, at a cellular level. There are overviews of acute and chronic heart failure, acute MI, and arrhythmias. The conditions are explained in depth and the text is easy to understand. These sections then address the drug therapies, interventions, and cellular activities that resolve the pathologies. It is very helpful to clinical practice and intervention.
