A useful glossary of commonly used cardiology terms is provided in Chapter 1. Chapter 2, which reviews the management of common cardiological conditions such as heart failure and pericarditis, includes a new angina section discussing the cardiological continuum. Cardiological emergencies such as acute coronary syndrome are explained in Chapter 3, while investigations and pharmacological treatments are reviewed in Chapters 4 and 5. The appendices include a pictorial guide to ECGs, fitness to drive with cardiological conditions, an overview of the GMS contract and relevant National Service Frameworks.
