“This is an excellent contribution to the evidence-based practice of cardiovascular medicine and will be a valuable reference tool.” (Doody’s, 14 June 2013)
The pace of therapeutic advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases is rapid, and new clinically-relevant information appears with such frequency that it can be extremely challenging for clinicians to keep up. Still, knowledge and interpretation of major clinical trials is crucial for the range of clinicians who manage cardiovascular patients, especially since important trial evidence often needs to be implemented soon after it is published.
