The book gives you a firm grasp of heart physiology and uses that to build your clinical and pathophysiology of disease knowledge. And, it's brief. If you don't have time for Braunwald's this is the next best thing. I'll never get rid of it. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Robbins - an excellent book for cardiopathophysiology, April 14, 2000 By  J. Michael Stevenson (Valhalla, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (Paperback) Dr. Lilly and company present the ins and outs of heart disease clearly, and in down to earth language, resulting in a book that is not only educational, but (almost) fun to read. The compact size of the book makes it ideal for reading on the subway, plane, or in the hallway before an exam. All of the basics that a student of cardiopathophysiology needs are presented, and although I turn to other books first if I have questions on the interpretation of a _specific_ EKG, I turn to Lilly for everything else, including the physiology of the EKG. My second edition of this book is well worn and heavily annotated, and it has a prominent place on my bookshelf - right next to my copy of the third edition, for this is one of few medical texts that I have taken the trouble to buy again when a new edition came out. Robbins is a great book, but it's a huge, heavy tome, and where cardiopathophysiology is concerned, this book beats it by a long mile. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING, December 7, 2004 By  Graduating Med Student (New York, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (Paperback) To put it simply this book is the BEST cardiology book for any medical student wanting to really learn and understand the complex topics that can come up in the field. It breaks down all the topics in simple format and gives you the physiology before each chapter. Not to mention it has all the cardiac pharmacology that you will need to know now, for the boards and then some.
