What a wonderful little handbook, written by a group who have considerable knowledge and practical expertise in this area... The text is beautifully and extensively illustrated... It packs a lot into a pocket sized book. Dr Iain A Simpson, Consultant Cardiologist, Southhampton University Hospitals. This is an excellent handbook and practical guide for practitioners who are training to perform cardiac catheterization and intervention. It is concise, well written, and contains outstanding diagrams, photographs, and tables. Doody's Notes (Dr Bijesh Maroo, Ochsner Clinic Foundation) Can the history and techniques of cardiac catheterisation really be encompassed in a pocket-sized handbook? Clearly the answer is 'yes'. From the foreword by Professor P.W.J.C. Serruys
