Inaccurate
Very inaccurate re ME (CFIDS). Advises exercise which can cause severe worsening of the disease. Conflates ME (CFIDS) and the symptom of chronic fatigue. No mention of Dr. Lerner's studies of cardiomyopathy or Prof. Leonard's publication on cardiac disease mortality in ME. When ME patients die of heart disease, it is, on average, at an age 25 years younger than that of the whole population of people who die of heart disease.

It's magnificient for all people involved in cardiology.
I am working as a researcher and a physician, and sometimes teach students. Although this book is not research-oriented, authors intend to incorporate recent products of basic medicines, such as molecular biology, molecular genetics, basic electrophysiology (e.g. ion channels), pharmacology, and so on. If you want to know what has already been proved and clarified about the cardiological disease you are interested in, this book will help you. Certainly any single volume cannot cover all the things in this field, this book will give you the idea on the key point of the diseases. Certainly, this book is also useful for practitioners. The book gives you a lot of results of large clinical studies, and even when you lose your way, you can also start with the basic pathophysiology of the disease.

Wonderful book!
I'm from Brazil. I bought Braunwald's Heart Disease 8th ed in december 2008. Shipping was predicted to arrive in january 20th. Just in time, in the exact day, the book was home. Moreover, it's an elegant, precise, up to dated text, with lots of images and tables, with excellent writing. I, definitely recommend it to every cardiology student or practioner.
Thanks Amazon, for the great job!

Useful as always
You can't say that there is a spectacular change from the previous edition. The better a product gets, the harder it is to improve it. But the format is frendlier, the guidelines and recommandations have been updated (which was a weak spot of the previous edition), and there are some new interesting chapters (like the management of stroke). In conclusion, still very useful as a reference.

Heart disease
I'm a Belgian customer (Europe).
I'm really enchanted of amazon's service. Though the shipping costs were not very clear, I ordered this textbook at the begin of december and I was surprised to get it on 28th december as it was announced between 29th decembre and 1st february.
Braunwald's heart disease is really the best textbook of cardiology and this brand new edition is better again. Very clear and well illustrated, it can be used by cardiologist as well as by internist or student in medicine.
