This cardiology book is phenomenal and a must-have for any veterinary resident in the field of internal medicine, emergency critical care, and obviously... cardiology. Very well written, but very poorly bound. My book binding fell apart with just routine use, but that's not to discredit the book. Definitely the best cardio book out there. I'm eagerly awaiting edition 2. Dr. Justine Lee www.drjustinelee.com

This is probably the first textbook I've read like a novel. I started on page 1, and just couldn't stop reading. For those that feel their veterinary cardiology skills may be sub-par, this is a very good investment. It starts with anatomy, then physiology, normal then abnormal, and has entire chapters dedicated to different classes of drugs. It explains everything starting at the basics, so even those that have very little cardio knowledge will understand the text. The book also has color pictures included, along with color doppler ultrasound pictures for those that may be interested. This text is most highly recommended!

this book has been a great help during cardio, and im so happy i decided to buy it. it has a great section on ECGs, great anatomical sketches so you can see which parts of the hear are affected during different problems, and is very organized and amazingly easy to read. i honestly found this book friendlier and more interesting than most of the lectures i was given in class. it certainly goes way beyond what i was expected to know for my vet school class, but theres nothing wrong with having extra info in a book. :o) i agree with another person who posted- its very unfortunate that the publishing company couldnt spend a bit more on this book. the paper is thin, the binding isnt the best, but ive been working with lots of cardio books lately and this has been my favorite.
