Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is an umbrella term used to describe a series of signs and symptoms indicative of myocardial ischemia, comprising unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Acute Coronary Syndromes in Clinical Practice is an essential resource for the clinician in the management of ACS. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology and clinical presentation, it also guides the reader through risk assessment, risk stratification, diagnosis, emerging technologies, and treatment. The handbook format and ample use of illustrations make this pocketbook an excellent resource for general practitioners, emergency medical physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physician trainees, medical students, nursing students, and paramedics who wish to keep up-to-date with recent advances in the understanding and treatment of ACS.

In the early 20th century, plain film radiography probably evoked the same sense of wonder that we now associate with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Extensive technical developments and a growth of studies in the literature have increased demand for CMR, but the availability of competing tests and the lack of training opportunities have been limiting. The complexity of CMR examinations and the lack of standardization in protocols between centers likely also hinder its widespread adoption.

Cardiovascular MRI in Practice has been written to tackle these issues. This digital video and text resource outlines the systematic approach to CMR interpretation. The depiction of a "core exam" and the modifications used for a variety of patient circumstances are demonstrated using simple visual assessment of the images. Special emphasis on the advantages of CMR relative to other modalities reinforces practical learning objectives, organized so that the reader starts with patient images—as one would in a clinical scenario—and works back to the didactic material.

This innovative DVD and text reference is designed for all cardiologists and cardiovascular radiologists. It is also highly relevant for those in training in order to work through and practice reporting cases using this modality.

Congenital Diseases and Syndromes - An Illustrated Radiological Guide is designed to serve the radiologist as an easy-to-use visual guide that illustrates the typical diagnostic radiological features of the most common congenital diseases and syndromes. The book is organised according to body system, with chapters focusing on the CNS, the head and neck, the chest and heart, the abdomen and pelvis, and the musculoskeletal system. A final chapter is devoted to phacomatoses. Each syndrome or disease is illustrated by multiple images as well as by high-quality digital medical illustrations depicting those radiological signs that are difficult to detect. The reader is thereby familiarised with the various congenital anomalies from the radiological point of view. In addition, etiology, diagnostic criteria, and main symptoms are described, and potential differential diagnoses highlighted. This book will be immensely useful for junior radiologists, radiology students, and doctors in any specialty who are interested in congenital malformations and syndromes.

Providing a concise approach to the subject, the new edition of Lecture Notes: Orthopaedics and Fractures reflects recent changes to medical education and includes new management techniques. Divided into two major sections, General Principles covers form and function, fractures, trauma and musculoskeletal disorders, while Regional Orthopaedics covers the examination of and conditions affecting individual regions of the body, e.g. foot and ankle, spine and trunk. This ensures the content is integrated to allow better and easier navigation.

Featuring an extensive collection of X-rays and photographs of orthopaedic conditions, Lecture Notes: Orthopaedics and Fractures is ideal for medical students, junior doctors, nurses or allied health professionals who want a core introduction to this important specialty.
