Braunwald's Heart Disease, Thirteenth Edition, is a two-volume cardiovascular medicine reference spanning disease biology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Its coverage of imaging, coronary disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valve disorders, and congenital disease serves cardiologists, fellows, researchers, and other clinicians studying the relationships between cardiovascular science and patient care.

This reference approaches cardiology from the underlying mechanisms of disease through clinical investigation and therapeutic options. Topics include atherosclerosis, heart failure, rhythm disorders, valvular disease, and congenital conditions, with cardiovascular imaging considered across echocardiography, MRI, CT, nuclear methods, and angiography.
Medical therapy sits alongside interventional procedures, electrophysiology, device treatment, and transplantation. Preventive cardiology chapters address risk assessment and the contribution of conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The two-volume structure accommodates both scientific explanations and specialty-level discussion, making it appropriate for sustained study during cardiology training and for topic-based consultation by physicians and other professionals working in cardiovascular care or research.
A two-volume reference that follows cardiovascular medicine from disease biology to bedside decisions. Bonow, Mann, Tomaselli, and colleagues connect pathophysiology, imaging, prevention, and therapy across coronary disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valves, and congenital conditions, serving cardiology fellows, practicing clinicians, and researchers who need sustained, specialty-level depth in one place.
The thirteenth edition is organized so scientific explanation and clinical practice stay together. Early material establishes mechanisms of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, then diagnostic evaluation moves through echocardiography, MRI, CT, nuclear imaging, and angiography. Therapeutic sections cover medical therapy, coronary intervention, electrophysiology, devices, surgery, and transplantation. Preventive chapters address risk assessment and conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The two-volume format supports both sequential study during training and targeted consultation when a specific question arises, which is why fellows and practicing specialists keep it within reach.
The reference starts from the biology that underlies clinical disease. Atherosclerosis, vascular function, and the molecular processes behind cardiovascular disorders are presented before diagnosis and treatment, so later recommendations can be read as consequences of mechanism rather than isolated rules.
Diagnosis draws on history, examination, and several imaging methods. The text places echocardiography, MRI, CT, nuclear techniques, and angiography side by side, encouraging readers to match a modality to the question being asked rather than defaulting to one test.
Ischemic heart disease receives sustained coverage, from risk and presentation to catheter-based and surgical treatment. Medical management sits alongside revascularization, so procedural decisions are weighed within overall care rather than treated in isolation.
Heart failure is examined across its presentations, mechanisms, and treatment pathways. Pharmacologic therapy, device support, and transplantation appear as parts of a continuum, and the text keeps attention on how choices change as the condition progresses.
Rhythm disorders connect diagnosis with electrophysiology and device therapy. The book covers arrhythmia mechanisms, mapping and ablation, and implanted devices, presenting technical procedures alongside the clinical reasoning that leads to them.
Structural and congenital conditions broaden the reference beyond acquired coronary disease, while preventive cardiology returns to risk assessment and modifiable factors. Together these sections show the range of cardiology from lifelong congenital care to population-level risk reduction.
Cardiology fellows and practicing cardiologists, internists and researchers in cardiovascular science, and clinicians who need a comprehensive specialty reference for training, board review, or topic-based consultation.
