Series: Landmark Papers in

Landmark Papers in Cardiovascular Medicine provides a thorough and wide-ranging analysis of core examples of novel research, clinical trials and seminal papers published in the medical literature that have paved the way for breakthroughs in the management of the entire spectrum of cardiovascular disease.

These papers may have produced positive, negative or equivocal findings but are regarded by the experts as having either stimulated a paradigm shift in therapeutic strategy or been the catalyst for new and improved methods of research, diagnosis or drug development. Our aim is to provide both a benchmark and inspiration for future work in the field of cardiovascular medicine and also to give the reader an insight into the mechanics and infrastructure of how high-quality evidence-based medicine has been produced.

Each trial summary is punctuated by sections on 'strengths and limitations', 'impact on the field', 'learning points' and 'further reading' suggestions that allow for a completely holistic analysis of the data. The experts also give their views on what research is currently underway, their hopes for the future and what advances they predict will occur in each subspecialty field of cardiovascular medicine, making this book essential reading for all those individuals with an interest in the field.

Reviews for Landmark Papers in Cardiovascular Medicine

' Landmark Papers in Cardiovascular Medicine represents an outstanding collection of articles and associated commentary. [it] will be of great interest to those who practice or study cardiovascular medicine. For the physician in training, [it] provides the perfect preparation to quote the relevant medical literature on rounds and appear erudite (and, in fact, be erudite). I hope you find the book as stimulating, educational, and exciting as I did.' - Professor Deepak Bhatt, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Chief of Cardiology, VA Boston Healthcare System, USA For anyone who's grown tired of the usual textbooks, guidelines and reading of review articles on the web, this is a brilliant alternative ... the must-have Christmas or Easter gift for cardiologists and internists.
