Coronary Heart Disease in Primary Care

A practical guide to the management of coronary heart disease in primary care with particular reference to the National Service Framework. Written for the primary care group, the volume interprets and applies the guidelines laid out in the framework to the practice setting. There is information on patient assessment, monitoring and management of the common coronary disorders encountered in the clinic, which should be useful to both general practitioners and practice nurses. Research and evidence-based practice are included wherever available, with an emphasis on linking the theory to practice. Flow charts provide a quick guide to assessment.
