The Interventional Cardiology Training Manual cover

This textbook is a readily accessible educational tool for all fellows undertaking subspecialty training in interventional cardiology, while also serving as a refresher to early career interventional cardiologists. The key objective is to equip the reader with an evidence-based expert-led resource focussed primarily on pre-procedural planning, peri-procedural decision-making, and the salient technical aspects of performing safe and effective coronary intervention, the intention being to support the therapeutic decision-making process in the emergency room, coronary care unit or cath lab in order to optimize patient outcome. 
The Interventional Cardiology Training Manual provides readers with a step-by-step guide to the basic principles underpinning coronary intervention and facilitates rapid access to best practice from the experts, presented in a pragmatic, digestible and concise format. Uniquely, each chapter has been written in a heart center-specificmanner, affording the reader an opportunity to learn how individual institutions perform a specific procedure, which algorithms and guidelines they follow and what evidence they draw on to instigate the best possible care for their patients.

“It should be a book that is on the shelves of any cardiac catheterization laboratory and accessible not just to doctors but all staff that work within the cath lab. … Would I recommend it for my local library? Clearly yes, as well as recommending it to junior staff and fellows, which was the main reason the book was produced.” (Michael Rees, RAD Magazine, January, 2020)
“This book is most appropriate for cardiovascular fellows undertaking subspecialty training in interventional cardiology. … This is a comprehensive yet clear guide to coronary intervention at all levels of complexity and establishes guidelines that are used in leading cardiac centers.” (Riin S Kadakia, Doody's Book Reviews, January 04, 2019)
