This book introduces a new paradigm in cardiac surgery education in a very relevant field. In its present first edition it already covers a complete array of domains: aortic valve, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, coronaries, arrhythmias and heart failure, and the techniques involved. It achieves all of this through rich text, images, and videos. It would be a great companion to our regular conferences, simulation courses, workshops, and is a must-have in everyone’s professional bookshelf.
