Handbook of Cardiac Catheterization

The technique of cardiac catheterisation is an essential part of the diagnostic 'work-up' of most patients with heart disease. This book fills the need for a short text which explains clearly and logically why and how catheterisation is performed. It is addressed to students and junior doctors who are meeting cardiology for the first time and who need to understand the basic principles but do not need the detailed information provided in larger and more expensive textbooks. It will also be of use to cardiac nurses and to the technicians and radiographers who play an essential part in the catheterisation laboratory but may not always understand why a certain procedure is being performed or the significance of the results.Miller, Graham A. is the author of 'Handbook of Cardiac Catheterization', published 1990 under ISBN 9780632026913 and ISBN 063202691X.
