TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preface A1 - Elmoselhi, Adel PY - 2017 T2 - Cardiology: An Integrated Approach AB - The aim of this work is to integrate the basic and clinical science topics of the cardiovascular system in a deliberately clinically oriented review book. Approximately half of the medical schools in the United States have already implemented an integrated curriculum in their pre-clinical programs, a trend which is growing both nationally and internationally. This trend is due in part to the proven benefits of the evidence-based practice of medicine as well as the increasing number of integrative clinical vignette questions in the medical and healthcare professional license examinations. Thus, this book was created to provide a comprehensive review that includes almost all pre-clinical and clinical subjects of the cardiovascular system in a compact volume, replacing the individual subject-specific books, which are now of limited relevance to current curriculum implementation and clinical practice, and providing an instructional resource that is more closely aligned with an integrative approach to the teaching and practice of medicine.
