Review
This is another offering in the excellent ICT series. The greatest attraction of the series, this book included, is its presentation. Each topic is dealt with in a double page spread so the reader is not overwhelmed with information. A lot of attention has gone into the layout and editing. A colourfully presented up to the minute account of modern cardiological practice for the price of a couple of chart CDs. Buy it!
