An up-to-date practical guide to the care of the critically ill patient in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit The Cardiac ICU Book fills a void in the medical literature, as most books currently available on post-procedure cardiac care are out of date and do not cover contemporary topics, approaches, and interventions.
