This quick-reference guide is the first book written specifically for the many third- and fourth-year medical students rotating on the cardiac surgery service. The book focuses on the diagnosis and management of the most common pathologic entities. Each chapter covers history, physical examination, imaging, and common diagnoses. For each diagnosis, the book sets out the typical presentation, options for non-operative and operative management, and expected outcomes. Chapters include key illustrations, quick-reference charts, tables, diagrams, and bulleted lists. Students can read the text from cover to cover to gain a general foundation of knowledge that can be built upon when they begin their rotation, then use specific chapters to review a sub-specialty before starting a new rotation or seeing a patient with a sub-specialty attending. Topics covered include bypass, valve repair and replacement, heart and lung transplantation, congenital heart defects, aortic trauma, and much more. Practical and user-friendly, Cardiac Surgery Clerkship is the ideal, on-the-spot resource for medical students and practitioners seeking fast facts on diagnosis and management. Its bullet-pointed outline format makes it a perfect quick reference, and its content breadth covers the most commonly encountered problems in clinical practice.

This book breaks down complex cardiac surgery concepts into digestible sections that make sense on the wards and in the OR

Excellent book

A great supplement alongside larger textbooks and OR experience. It’s brief but high-yield; perfect for quick reads before cases or exams. Just don’t expect it to replace a comprehensive cardiac surgery text

I love it
It helped me understand everything from CABG indications to valve repair basics — exactly what I needed as a senior med student

Cardiac surgery can be intimidating, but this guide breaks it down beautifully. The sections on pre/post-op care and surgical anatomy were especially useful. I felt confident in clinic and on rounds thanks to this book
