Oakley and Warnes, the Second Edition introduces new contributors from North America and Europe as well as new chapters on: * pulmonary hypertension * rheumatic heart disease * artificial heart valves * Marfan syndrome * auto-immune diseases * hypertrophic cardiomyopathy * rhythm disorders * hypertension * cardiac intervention The entire book is scrupulously updated to reflect the most current standards of care. The contributors - all recognized leaders in their respective fields - outline the pathway to diagnosis and appropriate management by a multi-disciplinary team.
