The first cardiovascular textbook from an international societyThe
ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine is the first ever
cardiovascular textbook to be published in partnership with an
international society and is set to become the standard text in
Europe and beyond.Initiated by the ESC Board and strongly supported
by the President, it represents a major undertaking and long-term
commitment from the ESC.A major educational tool linked to the ESC
Core SyllabusThe ESC plays an important role in the education of
cardiologists.The introduction of the ESC Core Syllabus in 2004
helped to provide a solid structure for the harmonisation of training
across Europe and The Textbook has been developed with this in mind.
It closely follows the framework of the Core Syllabus and addresses
the learning requirements specified within, making it consistent with
ESC Guidelines and best practice.Everything a trainee or practicing
cardiologist needs to knowAs a teaching or training text structured
around the ESC Core Syllabus, The Textbook contains the knowledge
that every general cardiologist should strive to attain and keep
current. It does not try to contain everything a sub-specialist
should know about the field.It does, however, cover the entire field
of cardiovascular medicine and unlike other texts the first six
chapters are dedicated to diagnostic imaging. Imaging modalities are
also discussed within the subsequent chapters on different disorders
and diseases and referenced back to the first chapters.Expert editor
and contributor teamThe highly respected editor and contributor team
have ensured a strong clinical focus throughout The Textbook.There
are over 120 contributing authors from 12 European countries all of
whom are internationally recognised specialists in their field, but
chosen as much for their ability as writers as for their
knowledge.The result is a balanced, expert and comprehensive review
of each topic.Easy to pick up, easy to navigate and easy on the
eyeAll chapters follow the same format so that there are no
inconsistencies in style or content. Each chapter opens with a brief
"Summary" box detailing the scope of the chapter and ends with a
"Personal Perspectives" box in which the author outlines the state of
the art and future directions for the area.With fewer than 1000
pages, The Textbook is succinct, focused and practical to use. Only
key references are included so that readability is not inhibited by
overly dense text.It is also visually appealing with an image on
every two-page spread. There are over 700 full colour images and over
230 informative tables. All of the illustrations (and all of the ECG
traces too) have been re-drawn to ensure consistency of style and
quality. This truly outstanding art programme means that techniques
and concepts are easy to grasp.Accompanying online version and CME
accreditationAn online version of The Textbook is provided with each
printed copy. A card with the website address and a unique access
number is bound into every book. The unique access number is used
when registering, at which point a user name and password can be
chosen. Using the website is straightforward and technical help is
available if needed.The online version contains all the text and
