As cardiac events have huge significance for all practitioners, this book will prove to be a practical resource for many nurses working within both general and specialist emergency/cardiac hospital settings. It will also have relevance for primary care workers wishing to develop their knowledge within all aspects of cardiac care, and as such will appeal to paramedics and other healthcare professionals working within general practice.
