Review
"An indispensable reference tool. . . . The augmented content and enhanced visual appearance of the 2005
edition of Braunwald's classic textbook make this an excellent reference, while the electronic access and timely updates further increase its functionality.

The seventh edition of Braunwald's Heart Disease would be a worthy addition to the medical library of any practicing cardiologist, cardiology fellow, or health care practitioner with a special interest in heart disease." JAMA, July 20, 2005 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Bible of Cardiology, June 3, 2002

By	B. Olalekan "smithsonian2000" (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine (Single Volume) (Hardcover)

There are many authors that have mastered their subjects. Once in a while however, you come across some authors that have, in addition, mastered the art of imparting that knowledge to others. That is what you have in this volume that has become the indispensable resource for Cardiologists and cardiology fellows. What Harrison's is to Internal Medicine, and Gray's is to Gross Anatomy, Braunwald's is to Cardiology. It is probably easier to talk of the beach without mentioning water than to talk of cardiology without Braunwald's Heart Disease.
This is a very worthy reference resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars A HARD-TO-FLAW MASTERPIECE, June 18, 2002

By	reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh, Single-User Version) (CD-ROM)

Anyone familiar with Dr. Braunwald's superb cardiovascular exploits in the "Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine" would not be surprised by the richness of this book.
The diligently crafted chapters are comprehensive, authoritative, well-illustrated, and include all the 'ins' and 'outs' of contemporary cardiology. It is one of the most consistent and coherent multi-authored texts in the field.
This single-volume CD-ROM package is a rich blend of evidence based medicine, best practice, and all the user-flexibility an e-book enthusiast would expect.
