"Hurst's the Heart has become a standard reference textbook in cardiology. It is a comprehensive review by experts in their respective areas of cardiology....This is a very useful reference that compiles a vast amount of information on the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases in one book. It continues to be one of best overall references in this field. 5 Stars!"--Doody's Review Service (Doody's ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Comprehensive Reference, May 18, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hurst's the Heart, 12th Edition (Hurst's the Heart (2v)) (Hardcover)
I am a pediatrician, not an internist or cardiologist, so this book is not of particular interest to me professionally. However, I am of an age where the cardiovascular system presents personal health issues for me and other family members. I am very satisfied with this latest edition as an in-depth reference.

When my late father, an electrical engineer, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure about 10 years ago, he bought an earlier edition of this book and read everything relevant to his condition. His cardiologist was impressed with is knowledge and had to deal with him as a knowledgeable and engaged patient who could converse and question.
