• Sommario/riassunto: With the rapid development of the field of cardiac biomarkers comes a need for updated guidance on how to use them clinically. Drs. Adams, Jaffe, and Apple meet that need with this timely reference. Taking a case-oriented approach for the greatest clinical relevance, the book bridges the gap between science and practice. If you use - or want to use - cardiac markers such as BNP and troponin to help your patients, you will find this clear and comprehensive reference provides a dependable source of valuable information. The 19 chapters are divided into three parts: Cardiac Tr
