Cardiovascular medicine is one of the most 'visual' of medical specialities. Cardiovascular diagnosis is based on the recognition and understanding of a variety of graphic waveforms, images, decision trees, and microscopic sections. Treatment increasingly involves the use of algorithms which are also most effectively portrayed visually. Likewise, mechanical correction of cardiovascular disorders, whether catheter based or surgical, can best be described pictorially.

The Atlas of Heart Diseases has been designed to provide a detailed and comprehensive visual exposition of all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. Several thousand images, accompanied by detailed captions, have been carefully selected by expert authors and reviewed by the 12 distinguished Volume Editors.

The Atlas of Heart Diseases is available in 13 Volumes in different formats - as Atlas, CD-ROM and Slide Atlas.
