I cannot say enough good things about this book! If it were not for this book I would not have passed, let alone gotten an A on our cardiac exam in MedSurg. This book broke things down in a way that I could visualize what was happening in the body. My fellow classmates tried to memorize this material and it was very difficult for them and they did not score as well. I feel that I have retained the information that I learned. I feel confident in my knowledge, which is something nursing students need! I recommend this book to anyone who needs a bit more simplistic approach to the heart. I think that people who have a good understanding would find this book a waste, but if you are unfamiliar with the cardiovascular system or are looking to refresh your long forgotten knowledge, then buy this book!

Very impressive resource book on Cardiac Care. Reads easily with simplified terminology. Great graphics for visual learners. Great book for new nurses as well as nurses wishing to brush up on Cardiac knowledge. I cannot say enought about this book!!
