“This is a concise yet thorough review of atrial fibrillation in the short stay setting. … It is written for practitioners, specifically in cardiology or emergency medicine. … This book is of good quality, and certainly useful for future practicing cardiologists. Atrial fibrillation is a huge subject that the book has managed to condense nicely.” (Arjun Makam, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2016)
