A great resource for primary care by J. Wynn (WA, United States)

5 Stars
November 16, 2008
This book is a wonderful resource, containing synopses of the most current recommendations from the leading organizations in Cardiology. There are also chapters devoted to the evaluation of patients for non-cardiac surgery, and the appropriate evaluation of common symptoms (like palpitations, chest pain, etc). I'd recommend this text to provider students and providers alike.
