Cardiology embraces a number of different conditions and disease
processes. Cardiovascular disease is now responsible for most of
the deaths of adults, especially premature deaths, in the developed
world. The development of effective preventive measures, new drugs
and surgical techniques makes it increasingly important to
recognise those at risk, to diagnose accurately those suffering
from disease and to prescribe, monitor and refer appropriately.
This book is intended to focus attention on the opportunities which
family' practice provides for this and to look at the need for a
change in emphasis in approaching the problems. The book is in five
parts. Part 1 is a reminder of some of the basic principles, which
are essential if sensible cardiology is to be practised. Part 2 is
about cardiac drugs, their use, effectiveness and risks. Part 3
looks at the diagnostic process; it comprises the history,
examination, investigation and referral of patients, who might have
cardiac disease and also the drugs which are most likely to be
used. Part 4 is devoted to specific conditions. In Part 5, we look
at the need for prevention and consider how it may be tackled in
general practice. This is not a comprehensive textbook of
cardiology. It is not intended for students. It is hoped that it
may be useful to experienced doctors, struggling to provide a
sound, sensible service in an environment of ever expanding
technology.
