Best Cardiology Books
I LOVE Cardiology! Here are a few books, in no particular order, I use the most when tackling anything on this subject:
#1:
By Leonard S Lilly
This was one of my favourite books when I started med school. It is straight to the point and highlights most of the common heart pathophysiology you will come across in [...]
Consoles Vs Handhelds
