'This splendid book is written by two general practitioners hoping to bring the mysteries of cardiology to the fingertips of all those engaged in family practice ..., and does indeed bring commonsense to cardiology. It can be recommended to all those wishing for an introduction to the subject.' Robert H. Anderson, International Journal of Cardiology, No. 28, 1990, pp. 129-131
