P REFACE

This second edition reflects the very rapid advances that have been made in our understanding

and management of cardiovascular disease since the first edition was published in 2001. All of the

chapters have been extensively reviewed and rewritten. There are now two chapters on acute

coronary syndromes, reflecting the modern classification: one on unstable angina pectoris and

non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and the other on ST-segment elevation

myocardial infarction. Otherwise the format of the first edition has been retained, to include

sections on epidemiology, cardiovascular function, examination and investigation of the patient,

disorders of rhythm and conduction, heart failure, congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease,

valvular heart disease, hypertension, and other conditions affecting the heart. I am also very happy

to welcome Drs. Arnold M. Katz, Martin M. Goldman, David Benditt, Edward K. Kasper, and

Roger J. Hajjar as new senior authors.

I wish also to thank Pedro Perez for his superb contributions to the artwork, my assistants,

Maria Anthony and Anitra Collins, and Paul Dolgert, John Morgan, Patricia Cleary, and Donna

Niethe, and the editorial, production, and composition departments of Humana Press for their

encouragement and hard work.
