Résumé : A masterpiece. Hurst (The heart, 6th ed. McGraw--a primary selection in Brandon-Hill) has included contributions to his classic text and has brought in Anderson, Wilcox, and Becker to provide illustrations. Begins, briefly, with normal anatomy (20 p.), then follows the course charted in The heart: congenital and valvar heart disease, myocardial and coronary heart disease, lung and pulmonary, endocarditis, trauma, and surgery for arrhythmias. The work ends with attention to other conditions: hypertension, neoplasia, collagen vascular disease, athletes heart, aging, obesity, and alcohol. Illustrations are largely gross anatomical photos in color (and of a quality we associate with the copublisher, Gower). Other illustrations are images by various modalities and good drawings (none of these are up to the artistry of Springer Vs Comprehensive manuals of surgical specialities). Every serious collection in cardiology will have this admirable reference.
