Textbook of Cardiac Critical Care

Cardiac critical care is an emerging technology. The existing literature has bundles of protocols applied in cardiac critical care intensive care unit. However, there is no textbook that exists for students' reference. For undergraduates, postgraduates, and paramedical staff in cardiac critical care medicine, the increased demand and growth in critical care for cardiac patients necessitates further training.
