Clinical guidelines are moving fast and in cardiology alone, major new guidelines hae been issued in the past 18 months for hypertension, angine, myocardial infarction and heart failure. All these have altered the recommendations which GPs now give. Now in its fourth edition, this book continues to be a popular text book for trainee and established GPs.
