Edited by Martin Lawrence, Andrew Neil, David Mant, and Godfrey Fowler
Reviews and Awards
This book tackles a large subject and deals with much epidemiological evidence. This is done effectively, each chapter written clearly, a tribute to both contributors and the editors ... a readable and digestible book. It is possible to use it as a quick reference guide or as a starting point in a more thorough search. I also found it useful as a quick reference for both my clinical work and as a teaching text. I will certainly recommend it as a reference text for medical students. - Tom Fahey, Family Practice, Vol. 14, No. 1, 1997
Overall rating: Good. Strengths: Good discussion of all major cardiovascular clinical trials and their practical implications for recommendations to patients. ... Chapters are well organized and each ends with a summary of major clinical points. Statements are well referenced with articles as recent as 1995. - Canadian Family Physician, vol.43, May 1997
a very comprehensive, accessible and authoritative tect ... the material is laid out and delivered in such a manageable and attractive style that one is tempted to return to it at frequent intervals ... a very useful and enjoyable text ... I shall recommend this book widely, in particular to practice nurses, as essential reading and the ideal textbook for students of preventive cardiology and health promotion. - Mary Walker, Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, Psychology, Health & Medicine, Vol. 2, No. 3, 1997
