Reviews

This book takes on the daunting task of making something most consider labyrinthine, clearly understandable. Doody's Notes This is a book that I looked forward to receiving and I have not been disappointed. It is the only contemporary, in-depth, single author reference on heart development - a complex subject which takes a book to begin to do justice to the detail and breadth of current knowledge. ...I recommend this book both to those who have and those who have yet to develop fascination for the subject. British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol 68, No 11
