Cardiology: An Illustrated Colour Text is an innovative new textbook for students and trainees providing a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles and practice of Cardiology. The subject is divided up into a series of two-page 'learning units', each covering a particular aspect of Cardiology and featuring full colour line diagrams, clinical photographs and radiological images. The text provides a detailed overview of the subject including: basic anatomy and physiology; investigations in cardiology, common and important diseases of the heart and vasculature, and a special section on routine cardiological consultations, such as chest pain and breathlessness.

This is another offering in the excellent ICT series. The greatest attraction of the series, this book included, is its presentation. Each topic is dealt with in a double page spread so the reader is not overwhelmed with information. A lot of attention has gone into the layout and editing. A colourfully presented up to the minute account of modern cardiological practice for the price of a couple of chart CDs. Buy it!
