will incorporate current guidelines for practice (such as from the
American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology) and
up-to-date information based on current literature. The data and body of
knowledge presented in this book are strictly evidence-based which makes
it ideal as a revision aid for residents/registrars undertaking their
Cardiothoracic Surgery Board examinations around the world.

book is applicable to all cardiothoracic surgical trainees. Its concise,
yet complete coverage of the important topics, make it the ideal guide
to answer the key questions in cardiac surgery that are asked within the
confines of an examination.
Cardiologists, cardiothoracic intensive care unit specialists, nursing
staff, physiotherapists and other professions allied to medicine, both
surgical and cardiological, will also find the book useful in terms of
the indications and surgical management of these patients, as they are
integral to the cardiac surgical process.
