Acute cardiac problems demand swift, accurate diagnosis and management. With rapidly evolving therapies and growing complexity in clinical care, knowing what to do - and when - can be challenging. This third edition of Emergencies in Cardiology, offers a clear, concise, and accessible guide to the immediate assessment and treatment of urgent cardiovascular conditions.

Designed for front-line clinicians, this trusted handbook uses a unique dual-structure format - both problem-based and disease-based - with extensive cross-referencing to ensure rapid access to the information you need. Whether you're deciding when to insert a temporary pacing wire, managing cardiogenic shock, assessing a patient pre-operatively, or interpreting an ECG, you'll find practical, evidence-based answers at your fingertips.

Now in its fully revised third edition, this compact guide has been extensively updated to reflect the latest investigations, therapies, and international guidelines. Written in bullet-point style for maximum clarity and speed, this is an essential resource for busy cardiology and medical teams. While other books address acute cardiology, none match the ease of use, practical focus, and intelligent design of Emergencies in Cardiology.
