Beschreibung
This book systematically integrates essentials, advances, and clinical correlations for cardiovascular drugs. The author covers both fundamentals and pharmacology of cardiovascular drugs, as well as their applications to treat cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the text presents evidence-based pharmacotherapeutics in the management of common cardiovascular diseases and conditions. Written in an accessible style and consistent format, and using case presentations and study questions, the book serves as a resource for pharmaceutical and medical students and researchers interested in cardiovascular issues.
