This compact handbook focuses on all types of non-invasive cardiac testing to describe concisely all aspects of the techniques involved. For each test, a concise description of the underlying principles is followed by a discussion of the indications and contra-indications for that procedure with illustrations of case scenarios showing normal and abnormal test results as an aid to understanding. An important chapter on test selection in various clinical scenarios emphasises the need for consideration in this increasingly cost-sensitive area
