disease? Ideally, a book would be comprehensive, yet concise, and
be practically oriented, and explain pathophysiology and treatment.
In addition, it should be accessible online so that it can be
accessed at the bedside or anywhere. Dr. Khan has written exactly
such a book. Encyclopedia of Heart Diseases is comprehensive, yet
concise, and very practically oriented. Importantly, it takes a
step-by-step approach, walking the reader through a thorough
pathophysiology of conditions, their evaluation and treatment. For
therapies, he provides the mechanism of the drug, its doses, side
effects and clinical efficacy. ...A terrific online resource with
