Excellent Reference
What a wonderful synthesis of the art and science of cardiovascular nursing. Particularly impressive is the depth of pathogenesis of cardio-circulatory disorders, such as heart failure and atherosclerosis, as well as the breadth of critical topics, such as cardiovascular risk management, core nursing competencies, and optimizing patient outcomes through evidence-based practice. As an instructor of pre-novice nurses, I can attest that this text as a reference for the cardiac care of patients across the lifespan is unmatched. As an instructor of advanced cardiac and circulatory pathophysiology, I must also commend the authors and editors for creating a reference that rivals most medical pathophysiology texts, while at the same time informs contemporary nursing and advanced nursing practice.

Exceptional cardiac nursing book
This is an amazingly comprehensive and ACCURATE book. It contains 90 chapters and covers everything a cardiac nurse or any other nurse who wants to know anything about cardiac nursing would want to know. There is no other book like it on the market. I recommend it highly!

Cardiac Nursing: A Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease
I ordered this to better my understanding of AVRT and AVNRT arrhythmias among other things. Initially reading it, I was very pleased and impressed. With further scrutiny, I was terribly disappointed to discover the Figure texts for Chapter 48(dysrhythmia chapter) and their associated diagram/pictorals were not matched properly-I could identify the ventricular arrhythmia 'mismatches', but not the AVRT and AVNRT diagrams. The very thing I spent $100 for was not reliable due to an editing flaw. I haven't reviewed all the other chapters-that was the editor's job, nor have I contacted the publisher to see what they intend to do about this flaw. I can see why this book is now $11 cheaper than it was 2 weeks ago!
