Highlighting STAT!Ref Cardiology Resources for American Heart Month February

New mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that coronary heart disease and stroke age-adjusted death rates are both down by 25 percent since 1999. Experts says one of the primary reasons for the dramatic decline is the development of evidence-based practice guidelines that have helped healthcare improve the treatment and prevention of heart attacks and strokes. Despite the drop, the pair remains the No. 1 and No. 3 causes of death in the United States.

Take this information to heart and stay informed with Hurst's the Heart. Written by a team of international experts, the twelfth edition of this authoritative e-book covers genetics, molecular biology, epidemiology, imaging and the societal origins of heart disease and patient care. Combined with EBM resources like ACP PIER and supporting titles such as Current Diagnosis and Treatment in Cardiology and Harrison's, STAT!Ref arms physicians and researchers with the information they need to combat heart disease.
