It includes reference to virtually the entire spectrum of cardiovascular drugs in clinical use and is exceedingly well referenced. A unique and outstanding contribution to the cardiovascular literature...an excellent resource for all those with an interest in cardiovascular pharmacology.? - Circulation, review of the last edition Cardiovascular pharmacology is always expanding and rapidly evolving, making it challenging to keep current. The authors intend this book to serve as a single, convenient, and current pharmacologic reference...a refreshing alternative to the Physicians' Desk Reference (Thomson Reuters). --- DOODY'S BOOK REVIEW, 4 Stars **** This new edition is even better than the last, and that one was good. I use it, and I recommend it to you-and for the young learners, the book opens best with the binding on your left.Everything you need to know about drugs for the heart . . .and when to use each drug . . .great on dosing, side-effect profiles, drug interactions, and how to use the agents in care." - The Lancet August 2009
