Enhance your clinical decision-making today— with the landmark volume that continues to define cardiology!

Setting an even higher standard…

*This description refers to the single-volume of Hurst’s THE HEART, 11/e.

There’s no mistaking the commanding coverage of Hurst’s THE HEART. Turn to any page, and you’ll see the solid focus on patient care, up-to-the-minute perspectives on therapeutic and technological advances, and expert authorship acclaimed by cardiology residents, fellows, and physicians. Now, the 11th Edition of Hurst’s THE HEART takes this tradition of excellence to a whole new level.

World-renowned cardiologist Valentin Fuster has spearheaded an ambitious revision of Hurst’s THE HEART, making this not-to-be-missed resource even more timely and complete, more visually appealing, and more essential to your daily practice than ever before. Whether the topic is coronary bypass surgery, angina, or advances in minimally invasive treatment, you’ll find the latest therapeutic strategies and supporting evidence-based data—all presented by a preeminent international group of thought leaders.

Review some of the strengths of this legendary reference: A-to-Z coverage of diagnosis and treatment procedures; an overview of current ACC/AHA guidelines; unmatched interpretation of clinical trials and cardiology data found in the Human Genome Project; first-rate color images of the normal and diseased heart…all supported by abundant pedagogy that includes chapter outlines, practice guidelines, algorithms, and more. If you thought this kind of resource could benefit you and your patients before, you’ll be amazed by what awaits you in the 11th edition … one look is all you’ll need to see why the new edition of Hurst’s THE HEART will prove indispensable to the way you practice cardiology.
