"Now in its 10th edition, this is truly a superb resource for all things cardiovascular and seems to be breathtaking in its coverage. A lot of books can claim to be a one stop shop and though it does not claim to be-I guess this book should answer most queries from the basic to the sophisticated when dealing with a patient and their problems. There is a lot of good science within the text though undeniably, it is a clinical book; the basic science is relevant to a clinician and makes reading around a topic much more interesting and educational."

"The main aim of this book is to evaluate the concept of stress and provide tools for physicians to identify patients who might benefit from stress management. This will incorporate a detailed description of the physiological and pathophysiological consequences of acute and chronic stress that might lead to cardiovascular disease. The book will aim to critically evaluate interventional research (behavioural and other therapies) and provide evidence based recommendations on how to manage stress in the cardiovascular patient. Our intentions are to define and highlight stress as an etiological factor for cardiovascular disease, and to describe an evidence based "tool box" that physicians may use to identify and manage patients in whom stress may be an important contributing factor for their disease and their risk of suffering cardiovascular complications."

"Cardiac CT scanners are rapidly improving, each major vendor has introduced a state of the art scanner every 2–3 years. The basic applications, terminology and acquisition has not changed dramatically, however, improvements in hardware and software continue to reduce radiation exposure, scan times, artifacts and improve image quality. This chapter outlines the basic CT terminology, functions and background behind the current state of CT scan- ners for cardiac applications. It reviews spatial, temporal and contrast resolution limits of the CT scanners. An overview of common terms, radiation exposure and protocols are included. This acts as an introductory chapter to be expanded by subsequent chapters that will each go into more details on specific topics. Comparison to magnetic resonance for image quality and functionality, and dose comparisons to mammography, nuclear and fluoroscopy are included."
