The purpose of the book is nicely worded in the introduction: 'make good doctors better'. Motivate the clinicians to use biomarkers to obtain up-to-date background knowledge regarding tools they use every day clinically, such as cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides. Biomarkers have become essential clinical tools in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and the early diagnosis of heart failure, as well as potentially helpful tools in many other indications. Beyond doubt, Cardiac Biomarkers-Expert Advice for Clinicians will achieve its purpose. Cardiac Biomarkers-Expert Advice.
Divided into six sections, this book provides physicians and other health care providers with a clear understanding of the role of biomarkers in clinical cardiovascular medicine.
Our knowledge base of the multitude of ways that physicians can and should use the clinical chemistry laboratory has expanded dramatically since these classic texts were published.
Drs. Adams, Jaffe, and Apple meet that need with this timely reference. Taking a case-oriented approach for the greatest clinical relevance, the book bridges the gap between science and practice.
Cardiac biomarkers such as troponins and natiuretic peptides have made a great impact on clinical decision making as well as improving our understanding of molecular mechanisms of different disease conditions.

Cardiac biomarkers such as troponins and natiuretic peptides have made a great impact on clinical decision making as well as improving our understanding of molecular mechanisms of different disease conditions.
Concludes the book with a timely chapter on how biomarkers may guide cardiologists in the future.
This book will help the practicing physician decide which biomarkers to measure, when to measure them, how to interpret the results and how to make decisions based on the test result.
