The Johns Hopkins Textbook of Cardiothoracic Surgery is an impressive compilation of knowledge. While it’s more directed towards surgeons, as a cardiologist, I found the chapters on patient management and the interplay between cardiology and surgery extremely useful for my practice. It’s a bit hefty, but definitely worth the read.
