From the Back Cover
Evidence based Cardiology was first published in 1998 to universal acclaim. It was praised as a unique cardiology text providing graded evidence–based reviews of the major trials together with recommendations for optimum management. Edited and written by the world's leading cardiologists with an understanding of evidence–based medicine, it represented a breakthrough in clinical medical publishing, not only for cardiology. With the move towards more patient focused health care and at the same time increased emphasis on health economics, evidence–based practice is a more important force in health care delivery than ever.
