Opis

Leading heart surgeons (including the President of the Royal College of Surgeons) bridge the ever-widening gap between the "student" (both pre- and post-graduate) and an increas- ingly remote group of medical and surgical specialists in this, the only book devoted entirely to the established principles of cardiac diagnosis.
