Summary: If you are a medical student, you need this!
Comment: This book does not waste any words, and yet it still manages to explain cardiac pathophysiology in a completely understandable and accessible way. I struggled with cardio initially, but this book really helped put everything into context. I think the fact that it was written mostly by students helps to make it concise, relevant, and readable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cardiology Textbook
Comment: This book is great! It is extremely well organized and walks you through the basics of cardiology (how EKG's work, how the heart works, disease conditions. Perfect for medical students.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pathophysiology of Heart Diseases is a MUST for all medical students!
Comment: Pathophysiology of Heart Diseases by Lilly is an excellent book and one that all medical students should have in their possession. This book breaks down all aspects of the heart in a simple yet detailed manner. The topics are well organized and are connected to each other. I purchased this book for less than $10 on Amazon, and the sender did an excellent job in sending it to me in a timely manner. Additionally, the sender's description of the book was 100% accurate. This book is such a smart investment!

Summary: Best Book for Cardiology
Comment: This book is #1 on my Top 10 List of All-time Best Medical Texts. I first read this book as an undergraduate during the summer after anatomy and physiology. I might have understood about 5% of it since my medical vocabulary was limited, but I was able to read it because of the clarity of its prose. I read it again in PA school and fell in love with it because it explains the 'how' and the 'why' underlying cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. Most texts I read simply state the facts and do not explain 'how' a disease creates clinical manifestations, 'how' an invasive therapeutic intervention is performed, etc. This book does all of that, and does it in a clear and succinct manner. The only shortcoming of this text is its EKG section; it is simply an introduction to EKGs and is not sufficient for learning how to interpret them.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent resource for MS-II
Comment: This is a well written text, which can be read - and more importantly, understood - in a couple of days.
The text does a nice job of reviewing the physiology of the heart, in the context of each disease process. It repeats important points of the physiology throughout each chapter, such that you've got a generally good understanding of the reading by the time you finish the book. Lilly also provides enough pathology and treatment content to give a full picture of each disease. It does not, however, give extremely detailed pathology on each topic.
For a second year medical student, this text was sufficient to master the content of cardiac pathophysiology. I would strongly recommend it for that purpose.
