Dr Saksena draws on his years of experience in teaching and
training to show you the physical signs of cardiovascular disease
that can be spotted by visual examination. For each sign, a color
photograph is paired with explanatory text that:
- describes the significant features of the sign
- explains its use in diagnosis
- identifies the likeliest causes
The book provides corroboration of physical signs and other
diagnostic information whenever possible and offers extensive
references for further study.
After an opening chapter on general observations, the author
describes signs that can be found in the face, ear, mouth and nose,
neck, hand, upper extremity, thorax and back, abdomen, and lower
extremity. An appendix covers rarer syndromes associated with
cardiovascular disease.
Whether you are just developing your diagnostic skills or want to be better able to identify signs of cardiovascular disease, you can count on this atlas for dependable advice.
