Rezensionen

"This compendium of 31 contributed chapters by recognized authorities in the field of cardiovascular genetics is a detailed, consultative resource for healthcare providers involved in the management of patients affected by genetic disorders of the cardiovascular system. This is eminently a clinical textbook. ... This is an outstanding contribution to the clinical world of genetic cardiovascular disorders, and clearly a unique resource." (Luis F Escobar, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)
