The aim of the book is to serve as a practical guide for junior doctors primary care
physicians and cardiology trainees. This book is a quick reference in everyday clinical
practice and also as reminder of the necessary clinical steps for diagnosis referral and
management. Cardiovascular conditions have been described that clinicians are likely to
encounter on a regular basis in their practice. Chapters have been written by trainees under
the supervision of a senior author with expertise in that particular area thus addressing most
everyday practical diagnostic and management issues and the potential questions that a
non-specialist or junior doctor may have. The handbook is practical in nature and its chapters
incorporate practical subheadings such as Must do's and Red flags placing the emphasis on
therapeutics and pharmacological treatment. The inclusion of flowcharts diagrams and images
are a feature allowing easy understanding of key learning objectives.
