John L. Brusch, Cambridge Health Alliance, Massachusetts, USA

“…the first book in years exclusively devoted to endocarditis. Dr. Brusch’s interest and expertise in endocarditis has resulted in this fine book covering all aspects of endocarditis… liberally illustrated and has copious figures which appear throughout the text and are helpful. The chapters are uniformly well-written and comprehensive… practically oriented… a treasure trove of information on infective endocarditis for clinicians. Its compact size assures it of a place on the desktop of busy clinicians that daily deal with infective endocarditis.”

Burke A. Cunha, MD

“…a reference for specialists who seek a thorough historical review of a specific facet of the broad topic of infective endocarditis… useful for residents in internal medicine or surgery and fellows in infectious diseases who want a comprehensive review of the clinical and pathological features of infective endocarditis or a general overview of specific types of the disease.”
