In this book, the authors have described succinctly different types of operations; these patients undergo, and the effects of anesthesia and surgery on them particularly on their heart and peripheral circulation. It is important to choose anesthesia agents and techniques so as to cause minimal disturbances during and after surgery. This is a herculean task. This book is a comprehensive write up that gives the basic idea of how to deal with patients with cardiac disease undergoing noncardiac surgery.
