PRESCRIPTION GUIDELINES IN CARDIOLOGY

“Prescription guidelines in cardiology” has become a classic and occupies an important place in doctors’ offices in France and in many other countries, in view of the large number of translations and successive editions.The success of this book is largely due to its brief format, allowing direct access to the results of a large number of large-scale cardiological trials (600) that are analyzed, compared and placed in perspective. It presents the French and international guidelines that must now be used to guide prescriptions.This book actually constitutes a cardiology handbook, guiding physicians and students in their choice of the treatment modalities that they need in their everyday practice. It provides them with the essential results of the major clinical trials in all fields of cardiology.This analysis is not based on a static approach, but on continuous review of the literature, which refines and sometimes modifies acquired knowledge, as part of a permanent quest for certainty, which is essential for good decision-making to ensure the patient’s best interests.
