Key Questions In Cardiac Surgery Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery will systematically cover all the main topics involved in the current practice of a cardiac surgeon. It 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. All the chapters have been written by cardiac surgeons who have recently undertaken their Cardiothoracic Board / Specialty Exit examinations and reviewed by a cardiothoracic examiner of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Each chapter will be structured to include aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, indications for surgery, peri-operative management, surgical options and postoperative care. Possible complications will be discussed and the results of current practice presented. Importantly there will be a section on basic sciences related to the practising cardiac surgeon and a further section on cardiac investigations with many images illustrating the variety of pathologies. Each chapter will also contain important references for further reading and greater depth of knowledge. The data and body of knowledge presented in this book is strictly evidence-based and is relevant to all cardiac surgical trainees, at any stage of their training programme. It will provide interns, residents and specialist registrars the necessary information to carry out their daily duties. Adult cardiologists and cardiothoracic intensive care unit specialists 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. Another important group is the nursing staff, physiotherapists and other professions allied to medicine, both surgical and cardiological, working with patients with adult cardiac disease either pre-operatively or postoperatively, as it will help to give a detailed understanding of the principles surrounding adult

This is an amazing book. It is the only text I came across that puts all the important information in one place without having to dig around the internet or several textbooks. The book is very well written with a simple question and answer style that also lends itself to reading in small segments as well as concentrated revision.It comprehensively covers the basic sciences, cardiac investigations, cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac surgical diseases and the post-operative management of these patients. It answers all the questions that are asked in the operating room, on rounds or in an oral examination. Unlike other revision texts, this book has an amazing array of color images, both illustrations and real radiology/cardiology investigations which help to explain the key concepts. Surgical anatomy and technique is clearly demonstrated.The book also has a fantastic collection of all the seminal publications important for contemporary cardiac practice, especially in the coronary artery disease and heart failure chapters. It also includes all the up-to-date American and European guidelines, including the recently published ESC coronary revascularisation recommendations.Although this book does require some baseline knowledge, I would highly recommend it for any medical student or trainee/resident on a cardiothoracic/cardiovascular surgery placement and especially for anyone undertaking cardiothoracic/cardiovascular surgery board examinations. It is well worth the money.
it will be unfair to raise any issue about itits a fantastic publication and i would advise any cardiac surgeon to to go through it as information is clear correct and must be known by every surgeon word by wordi congratulate the authors for their hard worki just love this handy immensely rich in information that is correctDr Zulfiqar Haiderconsultant cardiothoracic surgeonKSA
I must say, this is probably one of the best review books I have ever come across. I have recently passed my board exam in cardiac surgery and I have read this book cover to cover, and its worth every minute. It covers key questions on all aspects of cardiac surgery from physiology to contemporary literature. A must buy book for all cardiac surgery trainees.
Excellent collection of topics, the book is around 500 pages, but the large number of colored illustrations and pictures, in addition to the nicely well spaced paragraphs make this a very easy and enjoyable book to read.This is by no means a textbook or a single reference for a board/exam preparation; yet authors made nice effort to keep the book chapters all within the intended goal for them - nice practical information with no deep-digging into the not-much-needed details-.Nice book .. Recommended.
Fantastic book for revision, or to get an overview of cardiothoracic surgery if you're new to the specialtyUp-to-date information and guidelines, all set out in an incredibly easy to understand fashion
Excellent review book with great pictures and close to the latest evidence based guidelines.Hopefully an updated version will be released soon with the latest on precutaneous valves, and sutureless valves.Overall a quick read and I like the question based format which I find useful for studying
I recommend this book to everyone that work in a cardiac unitThe drawings are very illustrative.It is essential.
This book by Mr Moorjani FRCS, is tailor-made for those preparing for Boards exams in cardiac surgery. Here, in both an 'easy-to-read' and 'easy to digest' format, the reader is taken thrugh the whole gamut of topics in adult cardiac surgery. It is illustrated liberally throughout with relevant photo and diagrams, which may be reproduced in the clinical and viva setting, . Mr Moorjani has brought together information from the relevant literature and international guidelines which is not presented in such a collated way elsewhere. I can't reccomend this book enough. It will kick start anyone struggling to get going with exam preparation....and closer to the exams will act as a quick reference book/aide memoire, enabling a candidate to cover many topics in a short space of time. In short, no brainer!
