This pocket-sized handbook provides easy access to clinical trial data that are crucial in therapeutic decision making. The book enables the clinician to quickly review the studies that support or refute an intervention and then choose the most appropriate and cost effective treatment. Each chapter summarises the key facts about a disease and presents synopses of the major clinical trials for all available therapies. The synopses follow a standardised format: trial design, population, exclusion criteria, treatment, results, and comments. Thoroughly updated with the most current clinical trials and the latest American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines, this pocket sized handbook provides quick and easy access to clinical trials data that supports or refutes clinical interventions
