Welcome to the Cardiovascular Medicine Update Blog!

In support of the publication of the new edition of Cardiovascular Medicine, this blog service has been created to allow the Editors and Contributors to publish new and updated material to enhance further the useability of the book. Uniquely, this service is provided free of charge. We just ask one thing of you: to register for updates to the blog. This will allow you to receive an email reminder when new updates have been posted to the blog, keeping you current with all the important issues in cardiovascular medicine.

If you register you will also have the opportunity to interact with this update blog. Once you sign in, you can comment on any of the posts and even to ask the Editors and Contributors questions directly.

But if you only want to keep up to date, then please take advantage of the ability to subscribe to the feed from this blog. If you have Google desktop or any other RSS feed/content aggregator, please click on the links to the bottom right of the homepage. You will be informed of an update immediately it is posted.

Over the coming months and years, we shall be posting details of new trials and papers of importance within the field of cardiovascular medicine. We shall provide extra explanation, figures, videos and even sounds to support the book.

So, make sure you have visited the book page on Springer.com to order your copy of the book and know that you are part of a radically new concept for textbooks. Copies of the book are also available from:

Please feel free to email us if you have any comments or queries regarding the blog. We will be delighted to consider any ideas to refine further the concept.

Copies of the book were available for viewing and purchasing at the Springer booth, but we were very pleased to have had all four Editors available at the booth and a large number of delegates were able to take home their signed and dedicated copies of the book.
