One of the most challenging aspects of practicing veterinary medicine is the ability to keep up with rapidly evolving clinical recommendations based on the current scientific literature. The fifth edition of the Manual of Canine and Feline Cardiology elegantly and concisely resolves this dilemma for veterinary practitioners. This 455-page textbook is beautifully illustrated with numerous high-quality graphics and diagnostic images. The bulleted format is easy to read with key points and chapter summaries readily set off from the text by color-coded boxes. The content is comprehensive, with each chapter written by an expert in the field. Newer concepts and technologies are addressed, providing readers a broad understanding of the practice of veterinary cardiology. Additionally, advanced concepts are discussed, which makes this book a great starting point for veterinary cardiology residents. Practitioners and specialists alike will find the drug formulary and genetic testing appendices indispensable. The authors have done an outstanding job of incorporating and citing current literature in the text and pointing out where there are deficits in said literature. New chapters such as those dedicated to genetic and biomarker testing of cardiovascular diseases and the role of nutrition in cardiovascular diseases expand the scope of the book and are excellent, practical additions. In short, this book provides an excellent summary of cardiac pathology, diagnosis, and treatment and will be an excellent resource for practitioners of all levels.
