Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the
acclaimed Meylers Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These
individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the
practicing physician or health care clinician.
Each year, heart disease kills more people than cancer. Patients
are treated by a variety of specialists and primary care
practitioners, depending on the organ system involved. This volume
enables practitioners to assess the adverse effects of the complete
range of drugs used in cardiovascular medicine, including
antihypertensive drugs, and drugs used in the treatment of heart
failure, angina, angina pectoris, and cardiac arrhythmia and enable
practitioners to prescribe preventative treatments with medications
such as blood pressure reducers, aspirin, and cholesterol-lowering
drugs, as well as drugs used for more aggressive therapy.
The material is drawn from the 15th edition of the
internationally renowned encyclopedia, Meyler s Side Effects of
Drugs, and the latest volumes in the companion series, Side Effects
of Drugs Annuals. Drug names have usually been designated by their
recommended or proposed International Non-proprietary Names (rINN
or pINN); when those are not available, clinical names have been
used. In some cases, brand names have been used.
This volume is critical for any health professional involved in
the administration of cardiovascular mediations.
