Description
Taking a case-oriented approach for the greatest clinical relevance, the book bridges the gap between science and practice. If you use - or want to use - cardiac markers such as BNP and troponin to help your patients, you will find this clear and comprehensive reference provides a dependable source of valuable information.
The 19 chapters are divided into three parts:
* Cardiac Troponins
* Natriuretic Peptides
* Contemporary Markers of Risk
The authors cover the technical, clinical, and outcome assessments for each marker used in clinical practice. After each case scenario, an extensive discussion explains the clinical decisions and provides valuable context.

Reviews
"I think this is a good book and good value for money. It is fairly light reading and I found myself wanting to make notes and use it as a point of reference as it pulls things together well. Therefore, I would recommend it to others." (Cardiology News, February 2009)
