Two of the most common clinical presentations seen by internists, general practitioners, and cardiologists alike are newly recognized heart murmurs and atrial fibrillation. The fact that they're common, however, doesn't mean physicians don’t need guidance on proper management – rather, their ubiquitous nature makes credible guidance all the more important.
As Thomas Traill, MD, Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins, points out in two insightful lectures, the differences between patients with these conditions can be subtle, hard to pinpoint, yet critical to appropriate treatment and good outcomes. In "Take Uncommon Care with Common Disorders," a new audio CD available from Oakstone Medical, publisher of Practical Reviews in Cardiology, Dr. Traill accomplishes a rare feat in clinical education: he presents key facts, diagnostic tips, and treatment recommendations that can be used immediately in your practice, and he does it in engaging style that leaves you wanting to hear more.
Spending one hour listening to Dr. Traill's easy-to-follow advice is guaranteed to help you improve the care you provide and help you approach murmurs and atrial fibrillation with a new level of confidence.
