Title: great but outdated british book
Review: I cancelled my order as soon as I visited the Cambridge University Press website, & looked more closely at the content of this book. Although it appears to be a great, extremely helpful book, being based on the chief, presenting complaint, the problem is twofold for American users. First, it uses American Heart Assoc. 2000 guidelines, not 2005, despite being published in 2005, and the AHA guidelines have changed significantly. Second, the book uses British units of measurement (for ex, cm of water, rather than mmHg for blood pressure). This book would be wonderful, a blessing, if it were up to date with current AHA 2005 guidelines & written for U.S. users. You can probably still gain value from it, but should be very familiar with American standards of measurement & current AHA guidelines before reading it, so you can read with discernment.
