Recenzje

“The book aims to be a reference for cardiologists and cardiac surgeons as well as residents and medical students. The book provides sufficient background information as to be useful for residents who may be less familiar with the field. I believe the information may be too advanced for students to fully appreciate, but it is excellent for resident level and above. … To my knowledge, there are no comparable titles on the market.” (Richard Elliott Overman, Doody’s Book Reviews, October 2, 2020)
