""The title of this book Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery is appropriate since it covers systematically all questions asked in examinations or during the ward round. It is written in a question-answer format which makes it interesting to read. The illustrations are very good. The diagrams have been made in such a way that they provide a surgeons view. This book is based on the guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, and incorporates facts based on current scientific literature. Each chapter has a list of key scientific references for further reading. We would recommend this book as a companion for all cardiac surgery and cardiology trainees, perfusionists and cardiac anaesthesiologists. Overall, this book provides a practical and new approach to understand adult cardiac surgery."" -- Professor of Cardiac Surgery & Editor-in-Chief on behalf of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery ""A wonderful book. I have been looking for such a book for a very long time. It gives a global view on all aspects of adult cardiac surgery with emphasis on the important points. It is written in a very smooth and easy way. Its size is perfect so it can be carried everywhere. In my opinion, it is a must-have book if one is preparing for the speciality exam. Junior and senior trainees will also find it helpful during their career."" -- Waterstones review I recommend this book for cardiac surgery trainees, fullfledged surgeons, and also for other medical practitioners wanting a brief and precise overview into our speciality, without having to pick up heavy textbooks and spend precious time searching for information. -- Professor of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology
