Cardiovascular medicine has experienced an unforeseen and impressive development over the last fifty years, particularly recently, as new diagnostic innovative medications have been developed, as well as interventional and surgical procedures to treat patients with cardiac disease. Thus, the number of cardiovascular diagnoses, the number of diagnostic modalities, as well as the number of treatment options has expanded enormously and made cardiovascular medicine one of the biggest specialties in medicine. This cardiovascular manual focuses on diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic recommendations according to European Guidelines. It encompasses all aspects of cardiovascular medicine from hypertension to transplantation; from imaging to intervention; and from pharmacotherapy to surgical procedures.
