Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a credit to the authors. It is a comprehensive review of complex topic and I think it is worth every penny of the price. It is also worthy of a place on every cardiologist's bookshelf." (Cardiology News, October - November 2007)

"The authors and editors of this book have done a masterful job, creating a comprehensive, authoritative, and remarkably up-to-date work on the vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. Anyone who wishes to become knowledgeable about the vulnerable plaque, or to review the important literature on the topic, need only read this one book . . . All of the chapters are well written, factual, loaded with information, well referenced, and beautifully illustrated with many high-quality images." (Dr. Michael Fishbein, New England Journal of Medicine, July 5, 2007)
