From the reviews: "This is a concise, yet comprehensive review of genetic disorders that lead to inherited cardiomyopathies from internationally respected authorities in this field. ... This book is intended for general cardiologists, heart failure/advanced cardiomyopathy cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, and geneticists. Although it covers a subspecialty topic, it would also benefit medical residents, cardiology fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and medical students with an interest in this field. ... The approach of identifying cardiomyopathies based on clinical presentation also makes it an attractive tool for practicing physicians." (Joaquin Crespo, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2013)
