Definitely a must buy for your cardio block.......2007-10-16
Everybody in my class really liked this book. Reading it in combination with going to class made cardio easy and fun. I even saw third years during their cardiology rotations with this book in hand.
ECG.......2007-10-03
This text has been very helpful in allowing me to understand exaclty what goes on in the heart with regards to an ECG.
Pathophysiology of Heart Disease (Lilly).......2007-01-30
This book is a Collaborative Project of Harvard Medical Students and Faculty.It combines the needs of medical students as well as those of practicing physicians.Text,tables,and illustrations are concise and updated.
It was enjoyable and refreshing for me to review this text and it must be recommended both to medical students and practicing physicians.
(Dr.Werner,specialist for internal medicine)
AMAZING.......2004-12-08
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.
"The Bible".......2004-05-27
My classmates generally do not like buying books in their first two years of coursework, since we are issued coursenotes. I knew, however, that this book was a must-buy when people always made reference to it as "the Bible".
This book is short and sweet, doing a great job covering basics like electrophysiology, the theory of the ECG, atheroscleorsis, coronary artery disease and MIs, congestive heart failure, and pharmacotherapy. One reviewer mentioned that this book will not let you just up and interpret ECGs, which is true. However, that takes quite a bit of practice and goes beyond this book's scope. What the book does do is provide a good explanation of some basics principles underlying the ECG's use that makes their interpretation a little more intuitive, rather than just looking at arbitrary squiggles.
This book is the real deal, and should be up on your shelf with other big names like Harrison's and Robbins.

Book Description
Following the huge success of previous editions, Electrophysiological Testing 4th edition is the must-have resource for students, residents, cardiology fellows, primary care physicians, cardiologists, nurses, and technicians because it:clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmiasdiscusses advances in therapeutic electrophysiology keeping you completely up to dateprovides clear summaries of complex topicsis written in a user-friendly and understandable writing style to make the information easy to digest and recallincludes an entirely new chapter on the key field of Cardiac ResynchronisationReviews of previous edition:"Many times I have found that EP literature is very tied to research results and bogs down the primary topic and makes it difficult to understand. This book explains EP in plain English! I think it is in a class by itself. EP Technician, Galichia Heart Hospital, Wichita, KS, USAIt gives a good understanding of EP without getting too technical and complex in the explanations. It accomplishes a major task of "demystifying " the field of EP. It not only addresses the needs of non technical EP Personnel, but also provides a precise overview of EP for general review.

Like Clift's Notes in Shakespeare class.......2007-09-09
For an electrophysiologist in training this is like "Clift's Notes" in Shakespeare class; everyone has it, everyone has read it, but nobody admits to it!
For any cardiology fellow interested in EP fellowship, or who wants to get the most out of an EP rotation, buy this book and read it over the weekend. THEN buy Zipes or Josephson and quote from one of them.
I recommend this as a starting point for those interested in EP fellowship, or as a good overview for those who are affiliated with EP and want a better understanding.
I only give it 4 of 5 stars, because the author occasionally gets opinionated, but at least his humor is refreshing.
Handbook of Cardiac EP by Murgatroyd.......2003-02-12
By far the best EP book written in my opionion. If you're a layperson to EP and trying to get a handle on what the EP is doing and how we all fit into the puzzle, this is the book for you. Great illustrations, tracings, and easy explanations adjacent to the pictures for better learning.
Electrophysiologic Testing.......2003-02-12
Difficult and dry reading for the layperson. The Handbook of Cardiac EP by Murgatroyd is the best EP book I have seen yet. It has wonderful illustrations matched with tracings and easy reading for people other than the EP doctor.
Wonderful EP book.......2002-10-16
I used this book during a month of electrophysiology during my PGY-1 year. It's a wonderful introduction, and I highly recommend it. Fogoros' prose is very readable.
Great Reference.......2000-05-24
Great reference to those just learning EP or who are new to the field. We used it for training of nursing staff in EP and for general cardiology fellows. The book is easy to read and has done an excellent job of making some of the more difficult concepts understandable.

Great Seller.......2005-08-22
The merchandise was in excellent condition and arrived very promptly. I would reccommend this seller to everyone in a heart beat. Excellent customer service!!!
a good introductory book.......2002-09-27
Benefit of this book is only if you do not have the physiology book by the same author or if you want to carry around a section of the huge book. By itself the book is very clear in explaning cardiac cycles and rest of the hemodynamics. Hearth sounds forget it, ECG or ECG graphs, forget it but whatever is explained is explained in easy terms whit some nice diagrams/figures.It is expensive book per page compared to physiology book.
Good but heavygoing in parts.......2000-01-19
This book has a lot of useful information but could be a little more reader-friendly
One word of warning - the entire content of this book is to be found word-for-word in section IV of the Berne & Levy textbook "Physiology". Don't make the mistake I made and buy them both !

Book Description
From reviews of previous editions: "This remains...the best book to buy on the subject of exercise testing...an excellent book aimed at general physicians and cardiologists...recommended with enthusiasm."--International Journal of Cardiology "This book is to be recommended to all physicians who use exercise testing as a diagnostic or rehabilitation procedure..."--Cardiology in Practice "This is an excellent and detailed text describing the principles and practice of stress testing...I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in non-invasive cardiology."--The Journal of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Technology "The author's style is to be lauded...(He) states clearly the absolute, relative, and contraindications to stress testing...highly recommended."--Arch Phys Med Rehabil "I highly recommend this text as a well-written, integrated collection on current research, pathophysiology, and clinical applications."--Physical Therapy Although the general format of Stress Testing has not been changed in the Fifth Edition, the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated. "Take Home" messages are sprinkled throughout the book to emphasize major concepts. The chapter on electrocardiographic changes has been completely re-organized to highlight the importance of unconventional markers of ischemia. Two new chapters cover the role of exercise echocardiography and exercise testing in congestive heart failure. Overall, Stress Testing, Fifth Edition, remains an essential resource for cardiologists and exercise physiologists.

excellent choice!.......2007-02-07
This book is great!I got it cause i needed a review and dint have the privilidge of time.Its very well written, goes through basic concepts in detail and makes it easy for the reader to go through it.Either you are a graduate student in need of some review or a clinician who needs an easy reference booklet, then this book is an excellent choice!!
very helpful cardio phys text.......2005-11-01
the mohrman text is very concisely and accurately written. very helpful diagrams and well-written (but extremely dense) text. pretty essential for my med school physiology course
This book is good!.......2004-06-27
This book presents CV physiology very well. It highlights all the important concepts of the subject and includes good examples and adequate diagrams. The material is presented in a clear fashion. I wish I had this book during my medical physiology course, but I am glad I have it now and I plan on reading it a couple of times for Step I review. The only thing this book could use are some charts and tables, but in conjunction with BRS Physiology, I feel like I can master this subject for the boards.

Small Animal CArdiovascular Medicine.......2007-01-10
Excellent book, friendly and deep and concise on every topic dealt with.
Just Excelent.......2004-12-15
This is an excelent textbook of canine and feline cardiology of highest interest for any veterinary clinician (specialist and not) and any student who wants to learn before going to the real world of disease. It is in my opinion the cardiology textbook that is closest to the clinician and to the reality of the needs and manegement of the cardiovascular patient, with the most rigourous scientific literature.
From the masters..........2003-02-17
While taking my cardiology class during my second year of vet school, this book came in very handy. Although my syllabus (which was at least the size of this book) provided the same information, Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine provided clearer explanations and illustrations that I could read over and over again.
It filled in many of the gaps I had in my understanding of topics, and, after taking a VIN class with Dr. Kittleson, I can honestly say that this is one of the most concise references you can have. He is a very receptive teacher, and it is really reflected in this text. Highly recommended as THE reference for cardiology!
Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine.......1999-12-14
The book was a welcome addition to veterinary cardiology, filling a gap of over 12 years since the previous major publication. The book is very logically organized, and the pathophysiology is well addressed, and easy to understand at all levels from student to specialist.
The only detractor is the quality of the publication (the publishers skimped on the book, to the disappointment of the authors) - the paper is cheap and the binding has come apart on 2 copies (I had it replaced and re-bound).
great cardiology book.......1999-12-08
This is one excellent textbook. Concepts are well developed in the beginning chapters of the book. As the book progresses, and specific disease processes are addressed, conceptual application of previous topics is well integrated with additional information regarding everything from physical examination findings to treatment modalities. The end result is an excellent textbook of small animal cardiovascular medicine.
